Dear Carsten

There was an experimental that was MACH 1+ I don't remember the name.
The project was kind of a small F-15 / F-18 style 2 seater with quit
a bubble canopy compared to the real thing and a twin tail fin.

The first prototype was build and a good Military test pilot was hired
to perform the test-flight.
Doing high speed testing the aircraft developed Flutter and part's of
the aircraft broke of in flight, the pilot died in the crash.

Like Submarines and the demon's down there there are also the demon's
up there.
But as far as I know you may build a experimental March Aircraft.

Just out of area and before you go to periscope depth: Can you build
legal a private Jet in the US - which managed the sound barrier ?
