If it enables an airplane to reach high supersonic speeds a few feet above the ground, its shock wave may be sufficiently destructive for use as a military weapon, knocking holes in most structures that the plane flies near. And when a supersonic airliner is finally developed, it may well have variable wings to get it off the ground at reasonable speed and help it climb to high altitude without using too much fuel...
