Oblique-wing sonic boomAn investigation was conducted to determine the magnitude of the groundtrack overpressure generated by an oblique-wing transport cruising at Mach 1.4 at 45,000 ft. A conventional swept-wing configuration was included in the study to provide a basis of comparison for the oblique-wing configuration. The results of the investigation have shown that the oblique-wing configuration produces less sonic boom overpressure at cruise lift coefficient than the swept-wing vehicle.
