A team of Florida researchers is working to solve a long-standing military aviation problem -- reducing the extreme noise from supersonic jets during takeoff and landing. The researchers are engineers from Florida A & M University and Florida State University College of Engineering and the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion, or FCAAP. “Only a tiny fraction of the jet’s energy is transformed into sound, but this small fraction has a major impact,” said Farrukh S.
