| 3. | Contribution to the Numerical Prediction Methods of Sonic Boom for Supersonic Aircraft - ONERA / DAAP-EN |
| | Pressures field in the vicinity of an aircraft wind-tunnel model illustrating the shock waves structure issued from the aircraft in supersonic flight conditionsOne significant obstacle to the development of supersonic civil transport remains the nuisance related to the sonic boom.. An aircraft flying at supersonic speed (Mach number above 1.0) generates in its vicinity a flow field characterised by marked swept shock wave resulting in very strong pressures gradients.. |
