Interesting.https://www.cnet.com/news/nasa-snaps-supersonic-shockwaves-interacting-in-flight-wowza/
"NASA says these are "the first-ever images of the interaction of shockwaves from two supersonic aircraft in flight." The achievement came about during the latest phase of the agency's Air-to-Air Background Oriented Schlieren (AirBOS) flights at the Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
NASA's advanced air-to-air imaging system required some fancy flying to make it all work. The T-38s traveled in formation about 30 feet (9 meters) apart. A NASA B-200 King Air plane carried the camera system as the T-38s flew below it at supersonic speeds. The timing had to be perfect, and it was."

much quieter jets, that rumble instead of BOOM. less turbulence, fighters that can fly in close formation without interfering with each other...high speed cargo drones that can fly in close formation...missiles that fly faster and are harder to detect...stealth ducks...Interesting.
Other than the cool factor, what can come from this.
I surmise it may assist in the design of new air and space transportation.

Apparently in my wife's province about 2 car hour car ride away.
The newest UNESCO world heritage site.
lol someone should tell her.
Uhm I'm not seeing it ... pray telllol someone should tell her.
Fairly certain she's not human. Seems like she has an extra set of canines to complement the crazy brows...lol someone should tell her.
wow, i can see why.....just imagine the time they put in to build that site...Fanjingshan
