Correction.The article "Sonic Boom: Tokyo to New York in Six Hours" (Spring '06) incorrectly stated that JAXA JAXA Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency tested the Silent Supersonic Technology Demonstrator. JAXA tested the Scaled Experimental Supersonic Demonstrator. JAXA was formed through the merging of the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL NAL National Agricultural Library (Agricultural Research Service; US Department of Agriculture) NAL New American Library NAL National Accelerator Laboratory NAL National Aerospace Laboratory (Japan) ), the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA NASDA National Space Development Agency (Japanese Space Agency) NASDA National Association of State Departments of Agriculture NASDA National Association of State Development Agencies ) and the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS ISAS Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (Japan) ISAS International School for Advanced Studies ISAS Institute of Sensor and Actuator Systems (Vienna University of Technology; Vienna, Austria) ), not from the merging of NAL, NASDA, and the Noshiro Rocket Testing Centre, as reported. The article stated Dr. Takeshi Ohnuki holds a PhD in Field Dynamics. Dr. Ohnuki's degree is in Fluid Dynamics. |
