The results of the Douglas Aircraft Company system studies related to high speed civil transports (HSCT) are discussed. The studies were conducted to assess the environmental compatibility of a high speed civil transport at a design Mach number of 3.2. Sonic boom minimization, external noise, and engine emissions were assessed together with the effect of the laminar flow control (LFC) technology on vehicle gross weight. The general results indicated that a sonic boom loudness level of 90-PLdB at Mach 3.2 may not be achievable for a practical design; the high flow engine cycle concept shows promise of achieving the sideline FAR Part 36 noise limit, but may not achieve the aircraft range design goal of 6,500 nautical miles; the rich burn/quick quench (RB/QQ) combustor concept shows promise for achieving low EINO sub x levels when combined with a premixed pilot stage/advanced technology, high power stage duct burner in the Pratt and Whitney variable steam control engine (VSCE); and full chord wing LFC has significant performance and economic advantages relative to the turbulent wing baseline.
