Experts believe that if the project will be executed in the next-2 years, then by the year 2020 can be carried out the first tests of a quiet supersonic passenger airliner, which in turn will create a strong impetus for the development of effective passenger transportation in the world of aviation.

Information portal Avia.pro said that last year there were reports on the development of technology which reduces the volume of the sound when flying at supersonic speeds to 12%, that with further development, will ensure the implementation of requirements to the aircraft.
