Reference is made to technique describing atmospheric and aircraft acceleration effects on sonic booms, indexed in Engineering Index 1963 p 11; results, limited to straight horizontal flight, are extended to include effects of diving and climbing aircraft on curved flight paths; it is shown that flight paths that are concave downward can cause focusing of wave energy giving rise to high boom overpressures; theory indicates that undesirable focusing effects might be avoided by pitting aircraft acceleration against flight-path curvature.
