Use presentation software to report the results of research. A future supersonic transport will have to meet the same stringent airport noise regulations that will apply to subsonic transports. That requirement poses tough engineering challenges, and NASA Glenn Research Center scientists are hard at work to produce engines that will meet these tough standards.
Supersonic aircraft use low bypass turbofans or turbojets with afterburners.
And these engines are very noisy. The goal of today's high-speed research is to provide supersonic transportation between Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to meet the needs of the growing economic markets in Asia. It is hoped that such transportation will be commercially feasible by the year 2030. You will be evaluated on the creativity and thoroughness of your presentation. You will be able to present your information in a visually interesting format using a presentation software package.
