A 'sidways' super-sonic plane?!

Wouldn't it be nice to bring back the Concorde? Those short cross-Atlantic flights. Back in the day there was talk of bringing the plane back, sadly it looks like this poor plane is going into retirement.

However, according to the Huffington Post, a new plane could be on its way.

"Nasa has awarded $100,000 in funding for a team designing a new 'sideways' super-sonic plane. The aircraft, which looks like a four-point ninja star, was developed at the University of Miami. The new plane could fly much faster than traditional commercial jets, with a greatly reduced 'sonic boom' when it reaches super-sonic speeds."

Anyone willing to fly on this?
