Ha Ha !  yet another whiff from NASA !! :icon_fsm:  Always trying to get more funding.

Jacque Fresco actually designed an electro-static method of reducing sonic-booms while working at Wright-Dayton - the USAF patented it.  (he designed some early space-stations for NASA too).

Misora (the honorific name for "sky" in Japanese) is a conceptual design for an entirely new sort of supersonic aircraft, from the Institute of Fluid Science at Tohoku University.

 ( I would have said Popular Science ;) )

 Its pretty neat looking-I hope somebody takes the notion seiously enough to at least do some
 test aircraft.
