Systems and methods according to embodiments of the present technology vary engine throttle and flight control surfaces (such as high-lift devices, which can include flaps and/or slats) during takeoff, climb, approach, and/or landing of a supersonic aircraft to reduce noise. A representative computing device automatically controls thrust output of the propulsion system according to a schedule of thrust output, such that the thrust output remains below levels at which the jet exhaust becomes supersonic, and such that noise is reduced to comply with noise regulations or other limitations. The computing device also automatically controls the position and configuration of flight control surfaces to compensate for the reduced thrust and to maintain an appropriate climb and/or descent rate.
