You were not kidding. Definitely not a pleasing sight.

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).

Actually, no.
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.

Interesting derivative of the "Busemann Biplane" configuration.
