Abstract

Dr. Kenneth J. Plotkin played a significant role in furthering knowledge related to outdoor sound propagation and, in particular, propagation of sonic booms from supersonic aircraft. This presentation focuses on Dr. Plotkin's support of NASA's research in these areas. In recent years, he worked with NASA on expanding the capabilities of the modeling software PCBOOM for prediction of sonic boom propagation for a variety of aircraft flight conditions in complex atmospheric environments. Dr. Plotkin was also instrumental in the planning, execution, and analysis of several NASA supersonic flight test campaigns aimed at gathering data for development and validation of prediction models like PCBOOM. NASA's sonic boom research has benefited greatly from these collaborations, and it is our hope to honor his legacy by continuing work in this area.
