The basic processes of a method that performs sizing operations on a baseline aircraft and determines their subsequent effects on aerodynamics, propulsion, weights, and mission performance are described. The input requirements of the associated computer program are defined and its output listings explained. Results obtained by applying the method to an advanced supersonic technology concept are discussed. These results include the effects of wing loading, thrust-to-weight ratio, and technology improvements on range performance, and possible gains in both range and payload capability that become available through growth versions of the baseline aircraft. The results from an in depth contractual study that confirm the range gain predicted for a particular wing loading, thrust-to-weight ratio combination are also included. (Author)
