Recent Progress on Sonic Boom Modeling Research at NASASonic Boom Modeling Overview

What are we trying to do?
Understand the impact of sonic booms from new low-boom aircraft designs on community residents

What is our approach?
- Atmospheric Propagation: Develop more accurate sonic boom propagation models
- Structural Response & Modeling: Examine sonic boom transmission into small and large structures
- Human Response & Modeling: Develop psychoacoustic model of human response to low booms (both outdoors and indoors) for single and multiple events
- Work cooperatively with regulators (FAA, ICAO) and other researchers (industry, academia, JAXA, others)

What are the payoffs if we are successful?
- Replace current prohibition of civil supersonic overland flight with a noise-based standard for aircraft certification
