Japan develops supersonic aircraft without noise
From now until 2013, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will develop and test a prototype unmanned and noise-free supersonic aircraft, hoping to replace the Concorde.

A team of JAXA researchers with the support of Japanese industrialists will build the prototype based on tests conducted over the years.
In October 2005, JAXA specially tested in Australia a model of a non-aerial aircraft launched by missiles to test aircraft models and materials. Japan hopes to lead an international program on supersonic aircraft development by 2020-2029.
