An apparatus and method using an interference body to shape a sonic boom signature is provided herein. The interference body can be installed on various control surfaces, including a vertical control surface. The interference body can be sized and positioned to create a desired amount of interference with expansion wave s generated by one or more components of an aircraft. In one configuration, the interference body can be operative to reduce the sonic boom formed by an aircraft operating at or above supersonic speeds.
