Abstract

The paper focuses on reducing sonic boom by optimizing the aerodynamic configuration of the aircraft, as well as the forebody parameters. The study emphasizes the urgency of the problem of sonic boom generated by a supersonic business aircraft and introduces the database acquired from research into methods for reducing sonic boom, both as an individual problem and as part of multi-parameter optimization of a supersonic business aircraft. We systematized and processed the data and estimated the methods in terms of their influence, if applied, on the level of sonic boom. Furthermore, we matched each method to the aircraft design stages that are characteristic of its introduction into the configuration. This approach makes it possible to find layout solutions and assess them rapidly at the early stages of designing the configuration of this kind of aircraft.
