Market projections made by studies conducted under NASA contract have indicated a need for fleets of High Speed Civil Transports (HSCTs) by the years 2000-2005, in which each HSCT would carry 250-300 passengers over ranges of 5000-6500 nmi. The most promising HSCT concepts cruise at Mach 2.0-2.5. Both technology-readiness and environmental impact problems are addressed, giving attention to high lift wing leading-edge devices, NO(x) emission reductions via combustor design innovations, and configuration optimization for low sonic boom generation.
