Noise Primer for the Supersonic Transport.
Abstract
The first aim of the booklet is to clarify the basic concepts and terminology necessary in any discussion of airport-community noise and the SST. The second aim of the booklet is to describe the expected noise of the planned commercial SST--using the terminology and concepts developed to describe aircraft noise. This description tries to put SST noise into perspective by: Summarizing the status of the major efforts to reduce SST noise; Clarifying some of the old numerical values for SST noise which have caused confusion; Comparing the noise of the SST with that of other airplanes in terms of certification noise levels; and Showing how the airport-community noise from SST operations fits into the noise picture along with the new airplanes of the future.
