Sonic boom research, air data measurement, GPS, and ground-based radar
Manages concept and experiment design through test execution and analysis
-
Armstrong Flight Research Center
The Goal Everyone wants to go fast
But there is a problem
Plane reaches supersonic speed creates a sonic boom
Historically, civil supersonic speeds flown only over water
Sonic booms must be managed for supersonic flight over land
-
Armstrong Flight Research Center
And how loud can they be?
What is a Sonic Boom?
A loud explosive noise caused by the shock wave from an aircraft traveling faster than the speed of sound
sonic boom snik boom, noun
-
Armstrong Flight Research Center
Key factors impacting sonic booms
Aircraft & engine configuration or shaping
Aircraft weight
Temperature Wind
Humidity
Speed Altitude
Dive Angle Acceleration
Terrain & topography
-
Armstrong Flight Research Center
What can we do about sonic booms?
Develop novel aircraft shapes & propulsion systems
NASAs High Speed Project Key element is advanced
computer-based prediction methods for supersonic aircraft shape and performance
Sonic Boom Sonic Puffs
-
Armstrong Flight Research Center
What can we do about sonic booms?
Fly in the Mach cutoff zone
M < 1.11.3, refraction may prevent boom from reaching the ground
Noise heard like rumble of distant thunder or nothing at all
-
Armstrong Flight Research Center
Determine and understand acceptable annoyance NASA Armstrong has conducted studies to assess magnitude
of booms and their impact on the public (e.g., FaINT, WSPR)
What can we do about sonic booms?
