Goals for a future SST

Abstract

The paper attempts to define a desirable and reachable goal for a second generation SST. Justifications for the need of an SST are considered as is the ecological impact of a second generation SST project. Required technology advances to reach the range of 6500 nautical miles are examined along with structural weight reduction and drag reduction. Possible performance improvements due to design modifications are discussed, and environmental problems are discussed in detail with emphasis on sonic booms.
