NASA's Phase I High-Speed Research Program has been established to develop solutions for critical environmental issues confronting the next-generation U.S. SST, or High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT). Attention is presently given to the ways in which HSCT environmental acceptability is affected by such airframe-technology features as laminar flow control, advanced high-lift systems for TO&L, and contour tailoring for sonic-boom minimization. The reduction of sonic booms is economically critical to the HSCT, in that it will permit overland flight at supersonic speeds and therefore maximize the reduction in long-range flight times.
