Data provided by the manufacturer relating to noise and performance of a Mach 2.55 supersonic cruise concept employing a post 1985 technology level, variable cycle engine was used to identify differences in noise levels and performance between the manfacturer and NASA associated with methodology and groundrules. In addition, economic and noise information is provided consistent with a previous study based on an advanced technology Mach 2.7 configuration. The results indicate that the difference between the NASA's and manfacturer's performance methodology is small. Resizing the aircraft to NASA groundrules also results in small changes in flyover, sideline and approach noise levels. For the power setting chosen, engine oversizing resulted in no reduction in traded noise. In terms of summated noise level, a 10 EPNdB reduction is realized for an 8 percent increase in total operating costs. This corresponds to an average noise reduction of 3.3 EPNdB at the three observer positions.
