The effects of primary and secondary sonic boom carpets are reviewed with reference to waveform characteristics and audibility, role of the atmosphere, source characteristics, carpet measurements and predictions, effects of aircraft maneuvers, and sonic boom minimization. It is shown that primary booms which involve only propagation in the lower atmosphere are well predicted by means of current methods and are amendable to minimization.
