Gov. Laura Kelly announced Thursday the creation of a new supersonic transportation corridor allowing aviation manufacturers to test aircraft designs that reduce the impact of sound on nearby communities.
TOPEKA Kansas and the Federal Aviation Administration have reached an agreement to establish the Kansas Supersonic Transportation Corridor, allowing testing for non-military aircraft exceeding the speed of sound.
The corridor is a 770-nautical-mile about 886 standard miles racetrack-shaped corridor, above 39,000 feet and runs the length of the state, starting just north of the border of Kansas and Oklahoma. It will support sustained flight up to Mach 3, or just more than 2,300 mph.
