Progress in Sonic-Boom Understanding: Lessons Learned and Next Steps

Christine M. Darden

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

In January 1988, representatives from NASA, NOAA, academia, and industry gathered at the NASA Langley Research Center to assess the status of understanding of the sonic boom which accompanies supersonic flight. As a result of that meeting, a research program on sonic boom within the NASA High-Speed Research (HSR) Program was implemented. This paper discusses the elements of the sonic-boom program, progress which has been made since 1988, and the current change in direction for the Sonic-Boom Element of the NASA HSR Program.
