Sonic Boom Engineering

Sonic Boom Engineering explores the exciting yet challenging realm of supersonic flight, focusing on how we can overcome the disruptive impact of sonic booms. This book examines the physics behind supersonic airflow and shock wave generation, while introducing innovative aerodynamic designs aimed at minimizing these effects. Did you know that overcoming the sonic boom barrier could revolutionize air travel, unlocking faster transit times and increased global connectivity? However, achieving this requires a multi-faceted approach, combining advanced aerodynamic design and active flow control techniques.

The book begins with the history of supersonic flight, moves to the social and regulatory factors, and then analyzes the fundamental concepts of compressible flow, shock wave theory, and sonic boom generation. It then explores advanced technologies for sonic boom mitigation, such as wave drag reduction techniques, active flow control, and the use of unconventional aircraft configurations.

What sets this book apart is its integrated approach, considering the entire lifecycle of a sonic boom from its generation to its impact, providing a holistic perspective for developing effective strategies. The book uses theoretical analysis, experimental data, and numerical simulations to support its arguments.
