Analysis made by Pan American World Airways with regard to possible configuration, size, speed, range and fuels of future SST (Supersonic Transport); flight and performance; to investigate economics, IBM 705 computer was used to simulate operation of Mach 2 aircraft over portion of present route; it is shown that SST did not have same revenue producing capabilities which were 8% less than jet; recommendations made relating to future design.
