Problem Statement

Vehicle Research Corporation has proposed a mechanism for eliminating the sonic boom generated by supersonic flight. It involves a nozzle-shaped wing underside, together with an underwing planar jet of engine compressor air. The Study Group was asked to provide a critical review of the proposed mechanism and a quantitative analysis of its likely performance.
