Discussion of sensitivity of SST design and operation to sonic-boom considerations shows necessity for study of problems early in development program; methods of predicting pressure signatures are outlined and examples of correlation of estimates with wind-tunnel and flight measurements are shown; estimates of sonic-boom characteristics for SST show that in critical transonic acceleration portion of flight, overpressures somewhat lower than estimated by use of far-field assumptions may be expected.
