Two high-speed civil transport (HSCT) design concepts are presented. Both transports are designed for a 5500-n.m. range with 300 passengers. The first design concept is a Mach 2.5, joined-wing, single-fuselage transport. The second design concept is a Mach-4.0, twin-fuselage, variable-sweep wing transport. The use of conventional hydrocarbon fuels is emphasized to reduce the amount of change required in current airport facilities. Advanced aluminums are used in the designs when possible to reduce material and production costs over more exotic materials. Methods to reduce airport noise, community noise, and fly-over noise are incorporated into the designs. In addition, requirements set forth by the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) have been addressed.
