COMMERCIAL SUPERSONIC TRANSPORT PROGRAM. PHASE II-C. INTERIM AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORT. AERODYNAMICS. BOOK 1.
Abstract
The major design activity since the submittal of the Model 733-290 supersonic transport in November 1964 has been refining the configuration and validating the design parameters. This work is still in progress and is not scheduled for completion until late summer of 1966. The results of the work to date have been incorporated into the Model 733-390 configuration to provide a base for the Phase 2-C Interim Aircraft Performance Assessment. Some changes have been made in the design and operational procedures of the Model 733-290 to improve performance or to eliminate potential problems found in the November 1964 evaluation and in subsequent testing. However, in most respects the Model 733-390 is identical to the 733-290. The FAA minimum design objectives are met or exceeded by the Model 733-390 airplane. The Model 733-390 meets the design objective of transporting a payload of 40,000 pounds a range of 4000 statue mile with a gross weight of 510,000 pounds; this is an increase in gross weight of 10,000 pounds as compared to the 733-290.
