Silent plane would cut airport noise
http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/11/06/s....ap/index.html
A U.S.-British team of researchers from academia and the aerospace industry believes the passenger aircraft of the distant future will not only be fuel efficient, but virtually silent.
Leaders of a long-range research venture called the "Silent Aircraft Initiative" were scheduled Monday to release a conceptual design for a plane they say could cut through the air with practically no sound bothering those below, thanks to its unique shape and design features to limit engine noise.
I can't wait for this, no more scary nights as aircraft fly over making a noise from hell.
