Description:
A brief resume of sonic boom minimization methods is given to provide a background for a new, empirical modification of the Seebass and George minimum-nose-shock sonic boom F-function and signature. The new 'hybrid' F-function has all the inherent flexibility of application found with the Darden-modified Seebass and George F-function. In addition, it has enhanced this flexibility and applicability with neglegible increase in nose and/or tail shock strength. A description of this 'hybrid' F-function and signature is provided, and the benefits of using them to design high-performance, low-boom aircraft are discussed.
