Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: At the 1987 Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting an all-day session was devoted to a comprehensive review of the outlook for supersonic and hypersonic transport aircraft. The areas covered in the review included: (1) the particular market segment and size that might be served, (2) the profound implications of cruise Mach number, (3) the criticality and complexity of the technical, financial, and institutional issues involved, (4) the present climate for dealing with these issues, (5) the direction and magnitude of future research and development efforts likely to be required, (6) projected performance characteristics, and (7) the schedule for initial introduction and the succession of later configurations with increasingly higher performance. The review consisted of eight presentations. This Circular, which contains these papers, is intended to provide an accurate and objective assessment of the outlook for supersonic and hypersonic transport aircraft at this stage of their development. The contents are: Introduction, D. William Conner, Chairman, TRB Committee A1J07; Highlights; A Market for the Orient Express, Ben H. Lightfoot, Northwest Airlines; Higher Cruise Speed Commercial Aircraft Evolution, Ardell J. Anderson, Boeing Commercial Airplane Company; The Required Technology Combinations for High-Speed Commercial Aircraft, Roger D. Schaufele, Douglas Aircraft Company; The Impact of Emerging Technologies of an Advanced Supersonic Transport, Cornelius Driver and Domenic Maglieri, NASA Langley Research Center; NASA Research Towards Very-High-Speed Transports, Cecil C. Rosen, III, National Aeronautics and Space Administration; Development of Fuels for Supersonic and Hypersonic Commercial Transports, O.J. Hadaller and A.M. Momenthy, Boeing Commercial Airplane Company; Airport Compatibility Considerations for High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT), Bradley W. Bachtel and Catherine M. Keene, Douglas Aircraft Company; and High-Speed Cruise Environmental Concerns, Albert W. Blackburn, Federal Aviation Administration.
