The interaction of the compression field below a wing in supersonic flow and supersonic jet parallel to the wing chord was investigated to verify the suggestion that the sonic boom, generated by a supersonic transport aircraft, might be substantially reduced by a suitable arrangement of the propulsive jets. A theoretical investigation showed that the effect of the inviscid jet did have the desired direction but was very small. Experiments were made to investigate the effect of turbulence; however, no extra effect was found. No significant advantages are to be expected of practical application of the special configuration studied.
