Background: Since March 1973,
supersonic flight over land by civil
aircraft has been prohibited in the
United States. The Concorde was the
only civil supersonic airplane that
offered service to the United States, but
that airplane is no longer in service.
The interest in supersonic aircraft
technology has not disappeared. Current
research is dedicated toward reducing
the impact of sonic booms as they reach
the ground, in an effort to make
overland flight acceptable. Recent
research has produced promising results
for low boom intensity, and has
renewed interest in developing
supersonic civil aircraft that could be
considered environmentally acceptable
for supersonic flight over land.
The FAA has held three previous
public meetings. The first meeting was
held in Chicago, IL on Friday, October
24, 2008, as part of the O’Hare Noise
Compatibility Commission Symposium.
The second meeting was held in Palm
Springs, CA on Sunday, March 1, 2009,
as part of the Annual University of
California Symposium on Aviation
Noise and Air Quality. And, the third
meeting took place on Wednesday,
April 21, 2010, as part of the joint
meeting of the 159th Acoustical Society
of America and NOISE–CON 2010 in
Baltimore, Maryland 21202.
The purpose of these meetings is to
raise public awareness on advances in
supersonic technology, and for the FAA,
the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), and industry to
get feedback from interested persons.

Highlighting the effort to raise
awareness, Gulfstream has supported
the FAA’s public meetings by making its
Supersonic Acoustic Signature
Simulator II (SASSII) available for
attendees to visit. The SASSII is a
mobile audio booth designed and
equipped to demonstrate the
‘‘Gulfstream Whisper’’, the aerospace
company’s latest effort to provide a
solution to the traditional sonic boom.
A supersonic aircraft such as the
Concorde in cruise produces a
traditional jagged ‘‘N-wave’’ sonic boom
pressure wave, resulting in a loud,
jarring double boom on the ground as it
passes by. Gulfstream’s patented spike
for controlling and reducing sonic boom
transforms the traditional N-wave sonic
boom into a smooth and more rounded
pressure wave shaped roughly like a
sine wave or a sideways ‘‘S’’. This
change in the wave shape results in a
softer sound that is quieter than the
Concord sonic boom by a factor of
10,000. Gulfstream developed the
mobile SASSII so others could
experience this dramatic sound
difference. The simulator enables
visitors to sense for themselves the
dramatic difference in sound,
reverberation, and intensity. Using a
sophisticated, computer-based audio
system, the acoustic engineer sends the
audio feed into a sound booth where
visitors can compare various sound
signatures.
Public involvement is essential in any
future definition of an acceptable new
standard that would allow supersonic
flights over land. We anticipate that this
will be one of many meetings informing
the public on the continual
developments in the research of shaped
sonic booms and other technical and
environmental challenges that need to
be addressed in developing a new
supersonic airplane.
