July 2004 issue of POPULAR SCIENCE cover story on Super Quiet Super-Sonic Aircraft – – – “Radical New Shapes will bring Mach-Plus Airliners to Our Skies”
A 7-Page article, with serval designs by Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and Boeing.
Tease: “Executives of tomorrow will fly in sleek bizjets that will be seen –briefly– from the ground, but not heard. None will have cockpit windows–the needle shape of the fuelsage will make designing windows for forward visibility too comlicated — so pilots will view the outside on LCD screens.”
