Now it looks like he has the same rudder plan as wonder woman's plane had. No body armor just an ejection seat.

Here is another plane that will go supersonic, Navy F18. All airfoils are swept to reduce the transonic drag rise.
We are not quite there. Our speeds are much closer to gliders.
Try sailing your boat with a slightly swept back rudder and tell us how it works out. Does your boat go any faster?

I just liked the picture, the visual illustration of the pressure wave is awesome.
