Abstract

As a young researcher at the Air Force Research Laboratory, I was blessed with the good fortune of working with Ken on a variety of military sonic boom and aircraft noise projects. His mentorship on sonic boom theory required patience on his part but resulted in a successful collaboration, which included an improved PCBoom model and focused sonic boom measurements. From this work, we demonstrated how to make sonic booms louder unlike his later efforts to help minimize future aircraft's sonic booms. Ken also led major upgrades to the military’s aircraft noise model, NoiseMap. His work resulted in the development of the simulation noise model, NMSim and its noise animations. Through Ken’s efforts, we now have tools to better explain sonic boom and aircraft noise. As my mentor, I hope to share some highlights of working with Ken.
