Sonic Boom Analyses in Support of Improved X-59 Community Noise Testing

informing measurement planning and analysis of quiet supersonic aircraft community testing. The report is divided into three main sections: (1) investigations on the impacts of contaminating noise on sonic boom community noise metrics; (2) investigations into sonic boom variability, including turbulence effects on metrics of interest and development of a data-driven boom variability analysis framework; (3) other studies that support developing improved methodologies for community testing and analysis.
