Scale Resolving Jet Simulations to Reduce Airport Noise

- An emerging potential market has generated renewed interest in civil supersonic aircraft
- Evidenced by the appearance of several commercial programs despite lack of standards for en route noise or landing and takeoff noise
- Overland Flight Restrictions based on unacceptable sonic boom noise are viewed as the main barrier to this vision
- National Research and Policy agencies play a central role in developing the data needed for the regulation change that is essential to enabling this new market
- The vision of the Supersonics Community is a future where fast air travel is available for a broad spectrum of the traveling public
- Future supersonic aircraft will not only be able to fly overland without creating an “unacceptable situation” but compared to Concorde and SST will be efficient, affordable, and environmentally responsible
