It is reported that nine years of NASA research have yielded significant design solutions in such matters pertaining to large supersonic cruise vehicles as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, noise reduction, takeoff and landing procedures, and advanced configuration concepts. Attention is given to the incremental performance gains achieved over the years (with the Concorde SST as baseline reference), arrow wing planform performance potential, superplastic forming/diffusion bonding of titanium alloy primary structures, advanced engine cycles, twin-fuselage high-capacity configurations, and the potential military payoff of SST research. It is concluded that the greatest promise for future research and development lies in fiber-reinforced, high-temperature metal structures and the twin-fuselage configuration.
