The Importance Of Reducing The Intensity Of A Sonic Boom

Shawn Merrick-Miller Ryan Cilsick Science Research 12/20/16 The importance of reducing the intensity of a sonic boom is essential to making supersonic flight a possibility for passenger aircraft over land. Currently, supersonic flight over land in the US is prohibited by the FAA due to the annoyance associated with the sonicboom to people (observers) on the ground. The advancement of sonic boom reduction could lead to the advancement in the way we travel around the world with amazing speeds. Speeds up to mach 3.3 at 88,000ft (That s nearly 17 miles!) can be achieved in an SR-71 Blackbird, that keep in mind, it was made and introduced in 1966. 50 years later, we have the ability to transport people vast distances and at high speeds safely, but we don’t. Why not? Getting up to speed is not the issue in this circumstance, the issue is doing it quietly. It can be said that this problem can be eliminated by making a suborbital transport aircraft, which could be very beneficial, but will still create a sonic boom, and will still, annoy peopl e. At a higher price. Supersonic flight was pioneered by the air force in 1947, when Chuck Yeager became the first man to break the sound barrier. Shortly after, supersonic aircraft research was started. â€Å"Supersonic cruising aircraft did not begin until the mid-1950 s. Research on such aircraft had its origins in the United States in the work which was begun in 1954 or 1955 in support of the Air Force XB-70Show MoreRelatedCase Study148348 Words   |  594 Pagesadvanced level work assignments are specifically designed to test readers’ in-depth understanding of issues and/or ability to use them in a project situation. Where the relationship between strategy and the separate business functions is of primary importance, group work (preferably with cross-functional teams) could be very helpful. This could be for work on the case studies, in-company work or business simulations. †¢ †¢ 3.2 Level of participant The purpose of a strategy course is likely toRead MoreTeaching Notes Robert Grant - Strategy 4th Edition51665 Words   |  207 Pages Industry Analysis: Introduction The ï ¬ rst major component of the course looks at how we can understand and identify the sources of proï ¬ t in the external environment of the ï ¬ rm.

For example, would they need bodyguards? How about the paparazzi? And their employees who would become instant millionaires, how would this affect their intensity and focus? And would they even stay with Google, or go out on their own? (We know that many left to start their own enterprises.) In early 2004, the employees were quietly told that the company was going to file a public offering. And thousands
