This was a NASA modified F-5 with a nose designed to reduce the strenght of
shock waves produced during supersonic flight. The idea is to find a shape that will allow supersonic flight at higher altitudes over populated areas without a detectable "boom". What little I read about it was that the results were not as good as expected. Tom Inglima "Bruce R" wrote in message ... At the Tico Airshow Saturday.
