FASTER? PLEASE! Kansas, FAA Agree To Establish Supersonic Test Corridor. The agreement would provide a critical testing site for the emerging group of supersonic aircraft as civil supersonic flight remains banned over land. Flight testing for models such as Aerion’s AS2 and Boom’s Overture is expected this decade, while NASA noise trials with the Lockheed Martin X-59 demonstrator are anticipated by 2024. ‘This year marks 73 years since Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier, and with this supersonic flight corridor Kansas will have a unique role in the next generation of supersonic transportation,’ said Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) in the announcement of the agreement.”
