Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It seems that no matter how far out from a populated area an airport is built, it is a fact that people will build and buy homes nearby and complain about the noise. It has finally hit the point where something must be done to make aircraft quieter than ever. The problem Tom Swift must face is that everything possible has been tried and no new progress has been made. Try as he might, Tom just can't do much to reduce the noise coming out the back of a typical jet engine. Then it hits him: he must create an entirely new engine, one that functions on a different level than anything else to date.
