Herring bone. Strong and quiet redundency.

The Return of the Supersonic Biplane







Supersonic biplane design has the speed without the boom

The conceptual design known as “Misora” (meaning “sky” in Japanese) is an entirely new type of supersonic aircraft, from the Institute of Fluid Science at Tohoku University. One of the obvious differences between this plane and a standard supersonic aircraft is the biplane design.

NASA Provides $100,000 Funding For Supersonic, Fuel-Efficient Ninja Star Jet | Inhabitat - Green Design, Innovation, Architecture, Green Building

An engineer from the University of Miami has received $100,000 from NASA to develop a fuel-efficient supersonic aircraft shaped like a ninja star. Working with a team from Florida State University, Ge-Chen Zha has designed a bi-directional flying wing (SBiDir-FW) that can travel at supersonic speeds without the sonic boom generated by conventional aircraft when they break the sound barrier. This remarkable jet could potentially travel from New York to Tokyo in four hours.

Details of the proposed transition phase from low to high-speed flight, and back again, are not discussed though the design team predicts low g-forces below one.

Ukraine has started rolling out new APCs, some that have anti-RPG grating. The last image is of a newer one that took 3 RPGs, 3 grenade hits, and multiple shots fired into it. It managed to survive:
