Abstract:As demand for long-range business travel increases and technologies for efficient supersonic flight mature, a market for small supersonic civil aircraft appears to be forming. Results of recent studies indicate that such aircraft are feasible. However, a major remaining impediment to the operation of such aircraft is the cruise noise signature. Sonic boom noise issues are different from many other aspects of aircraft noise in that the potential annoyance occurs en route, along the flight path rather than just near airports. Maximum utility will require supersonic flight over land, currently prohibited by law. The law was formulated and promulgated at a time before the purposeful shaping of the sonic boom waveform was achievable. The aim of the proposed work is to determine if sufficient new data exists to warrant a reevaluation of the FAA’s regulation prohibiting supersonic flight over land.
