OZONE, NITRIC OXIDE, AND RADIATION EFFECTS ON A SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT.
Abstract
A study of the effects of ozone, oxides of nitrogen, radiation, and other phenomena associated with high altitude flying has been conducted in an assessment of possible potential hazards to the safe operation and design of a supersonic transport. Effects on the passengers and crew as well as the structural design have been considered in the light of existing knowledge. This report is divided into three sections, the first being devoted to ozone and the oxides of nitrogen. The second section considers the natural radiation background while the third section is concerned with nuclear bomb debris and the natural aerosol component of the upper atmosphere. Each section is complete within itself, offering a summary of the important aspects of the problem as well as specific conclusions and recommendations for future action. (Author)
