Assessment and design of low boom configurations for supersonic transport aircraft
Abstract
A review is presented of presently utilized sonic boom prediction and minimization techniques. The three-pronged approach - acceptability studies, atmospheric propagation studies, and configuration design and operation, to the sonic boom problem as an element of the High Speed Research Program are discussed. Experimental and theoretical results of concepts designed to validate present minimization methods are given.
