Abstract
A study has been conducted of the focal zone superbooms associated with tactical maneuvers of military supersonic aircraft. Focal-zone footprints were computed for 21 tactical maneuvers: two for the SR-71 aircraft during acceleration, and 19 for fighters engaged in air combat maneuver (ACM) training. These footprints provide quantitative results which may be used for environmental planning and were the primary objective of this study. A significant observation from these footprints is that focus factors and footprint areas for high-g fighter maneuvers are substantially smaller than those for gentle maneuvers associated with larger aircraft.
