Sonic Boom Simulation Model Study

As part of a feasibility study directed toward the design of a facility for generating full-scale simulated sonic booms over a test site approximately one-fifth of a mile square, tests have been made on a 1:100 scale model. This presentation describes the model, gives experimental data, and discusses implications that can be drawn from the data regarding the proposed full-scale facility.
