    for detection purposes, the sonic boom isn’t all that important for military aircraft, which are usually detected by light (either radio or infrared) and most of the time they don’t fly over populated areas anyway (and when the do frequently, they usually care about things other than civilian comfort)

    tldr maybe but it would probably be like 10th on the list of priorities, it’ll make its way in around the edges but not fundamentally change it
