Study of an efficient long-range Mach 2.7 supersonic transport configuration conceptA long range Mach 2.7 supersonic transport configuration concept was studied utilizing linear theory methods. The configuration was sized to carry 290 passengers 6,000 nautical miles nonstop. The final configuration has a maximum takeoff gross weight of 687,200 pounds, a wing loading of 69.8 lbf/sq.ft. and a thrust weight ratio of .278. The most significant result is that a significantly improved trimmed maximum lift drag ratio of 11.04 can be obtained for a supersonic transport at Mach 2.62 and 55,000 feet.
