Something different for the OFFTOPIC which i found an interesting read, and i'm sure you guyz will too.
I guess the NSX with its curvy design was years ahead of its time? ;)

<I>"...an American aerospace company has demonstrated a way to modify a supersonic jet to dramatically reduce its sonic boom.
The work could pave the way for a new generation of business jets quiet enough to fly at supersonic speed over populated areas."</I>
