Study is made of accuracy and reliability of theoretical methods of estimating sonic-boom overpressures for level flight at constant supersonic Mach number; theoretical estimation methods were outlined and numerical evaluation of sonic-boom theory for use on high-speed electronic computing machines are introduced; estimates based on theory are compared with available wind-tunnel and flight measurements; results of review reaffirmed conclusion that volume and lift effects contribute to bow-shock overpressures.
