Korunov A.O., Gusev V.A., Gorbovskoy V.S. «Rapid Estimation of the Sonic Boom Characteristics from Supersonic Passenger Aircraft in a Standard Atmosphere Based on Analytical Solutions: Cruise Mode» Акустический журнал, 70, № 4, с. pp718-732 (2024)

A method is proposed for quickly estimating the sonic boom characteristics from supersonic passenger aircraft under standard atmospheric conditions. The piecewise linear temperature profile and absence of atmospheric wind make it possible to completely reduce the problem of the geometry of sonic boom wave propagation to an algebraic form. For acoustic pressure, an analytical solution is formulated using the nonlinear geometrical acoustics approach. The dependence of the geometry of sonic boom wave propagation on the cruising flight parameters of a supersonic passenger aircraft is analyzed. Under the conditions of SBPW (Sonic Boom Prediction Workshop) 2020, the overpressure signatures on the ground from the X-59 demonstrator were calculated.
