A flight research program was conducted by the FAA to provide information for the development of takeoff airworthiness standards for supersonic transport aircraft. A General Dynamics/Convair F-102A aircraft was utilized for the tests. The combined test restuls from this program and those obtained from ground based simulation studies that were being conducted concurrently at the NASA Ames Research Center were used as a basis for proposing revisions to the Federal Aviation Regulations (Part 25-Airworthiness Standards: Transport Category Airplanes). Proposed changes to applicable standards use zero rate of climb speed to establish the baseline upon which factored performance levels can be established. The effects of induced drag on climb performance are also considered in these proposed revisions. (Author)
