Review of Sonic Boom Prediction and Reduction Methods for Next Generation of Supersonic Aircraft [PDF]
The reduction of sonic boom levels is the main challenge but also the key factor to start a new era of supersonic commercial flights. Since 1970, a FAA regulation has banned supersonic flights overland for unacceptable sonic booms at the ground, and many

A methodology for the prediction of the sonic boom in tunnels of high-speed trains
The present study focuses in the propagation and deformation of the first compression wave generated when a high speed train enters a tunnel. This first wave is a determining factor in shock wave formation inside the tunnel, and therefore in sonic boom phenomena. This is modelled with the one-dimensional equations for the flow in a tube, and an analogy

Secondary sonic boom predictions for U.S. coastlines
This study examines the behavior of secondary sonic booms on United States (U.S.) coastlines to have a more complete understanding of the impact of supersonic travel on communities. Secondary sonic booms occur when the atmospheric conditions are such that the atmospheric refraction causes the sound that would ordinarily not reach the ground to bend ...
