Aircraft Noise and Performance Data for a Notional Supersonic Business Jet

The International Civil Aviation Organization recently completed a study that determined the global environmental impact of adding several hypothetical supersonic aircraft types to the existing subsonic fleet. NASA supported this study by designing a notional 55-tonne supersonic business jet. The airplane is named the Supersonic Technology Concept Aeroplane by the international community. Performance, noise, and exhaust emission predictions for this transport were used to inform development of new environmental standards for future supersonic civil aircraft. The behavior of the aircraft in an operational setting is considered. Calculation of aircraft noise and performance data for this aircraft is the focus of this paper. Noise abatement departure procedures, stage length performance, and noise-power-distance data are determined using NASA tools. Also investigated are some of the anticipated behaviors and requirements of supersonic aircraft in the commercial airspace.

Variable Noise Reduction Systems for a Notional Supersonic Business Jet

A variable noise reduction system consists of equipment on board an airplane that is designed to reduce noise in the vicinity of airports. They are anticipated to be used on supersonic civil aircraft currently under development by industry. They are investigated in this paper for a notional 55-tonne supersonic business jet. The airplane concept was developed by NASA for use in environmental impact studies conducted by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The variable noise reduction system investigated implements a programmed thrust lapse procedure and a programmed flap retraction procedure. The procedures are expected to reduce noise in aircraft certification as well as in operational practice. Behavior of the aircraft in a noise certification setting is considered. Variables of the procedures are optimized to reduce noise levels. Certification considerations unique to these systems are discussed for transport-category large airplanes and for jet-powered airplanes. A novel method for evaluating lateral noise is used.
