(WESH) - NASA has wrapped up a week of test flights that produced dozens of sonic booms over the Cape Canaveral area.

NASA already has a potential design. The plane would likely create a quieter sort of sonic thump rather than a loud boom.
Sonic booms can be heard as the result of shockwaves created by aircraft flying through the atmosphere faster than the speed of sound.
