Gulfstream Aerospace and NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center tested the structural integrity of a telescopic ‘Quiet Spike’ sonic boom mitigator on the F-15B testbed, #836. The Quiet Spike was developed as a means of controlling and reducing the sonic boom caused by an aircraft ‘breaking’ the sound barrier.July 6, 2006NASA Photo / Tom Tschida› Quiet Spike Project Description
