Development of Supersonic Aircraft

The development of supersonic aircraft involves creating planes that can fly faster than sound, overcoming significant engineering challenges such as managing heat from air friction, reducing noise (sonic booms), and maintaining stability at high speeds. Engineers design specialized aerodynamics, powerful engines, and materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Early experiments and prototypes, like the Concorde, paved the way for advancements, focusing on efficiency and safety. Ongoing research aims to make supersonic travel more affordable, quieter, and environmentally friendly, with new technologies promising commercial viability in the future.
