Boom!
The Air Force conducted a six month experiment with military SSTs in Oklahoma during 1964 to see what the effects of constant sonic boom (created when the aircraft goes faster than the speed of sound) would be. The results? Over 8,000 complaints and 5,000 claims for damages. The plane was starting to get a reputation and it wasn't even off the drawing board yet.

I had forgotten this problem. There were many problems.
