Nasa tests quiet supersonic jet, taking one step closer to faster travel

A supersonic jet plane designed to make very little noise took flight for the first time this week, cruising over the southern California desert just after sunrise in what could be the first step toward much faster commercial travel, according to NASA.

If NASA and Lockheed Martin can successfully lower the volume, the new jets could slash travel
