Project Description: Gulfstream Aerospace and NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center tested the structural integrity of a telescopic 'Quiet Spike' sonic boom mitigator on a NASA F-15B testbed aircraft.
Telescopic observations show it to be a nearly featureless white disk, completely covered in a thick cloud layer, reflecting almost all of the sunlight that falls on it.
An electromagnetic coil would be used to control the plasma while a telescopic ceramic rod, which shoots out of the handle and can resist the temperature holds the blade all together.
