Most conceptual design methods for low-boom supersonic aircraft are developed for achieving an undertrack low-boom goal at the start of cruise. Although attempts have been made to design a supersonic aircraft achieving a low-boom goal for multiple azimuthal angles at the start of cruise, one unanswered question in inverse design optimization is how to define an achievable low-boom goal for multiple azimuthal angles. This paper proposes a new analysis method to assess off-design low-boom characteristics of a low-boom supersonic transport designed for an undertrack low-boom goal at the start of cruise. This method opens a potentially feasible path for conceptual design of a supersonic aircraft that has desired low-boom characteristics over the primary boom carpet for the entire cruise segment.
