Tests to obtain pressure measurements for comparison with theoretical predictions using area-rule concepts; it was thought possible to provide alleviation of boom intensity by detailed component design; it is shown that boom-producing pressure rise across bow shock depends on longitudinal development of body area, not on local details.
