The Commercial Supersonics Technology (CST) Project under the NASA Advanced Air Vehicles Program (AAVP) focuses on developing technologies for enabling designs of future commercial supersonic aircraft. Many different technology areas are being addressed, such as designing airframes for better efficiency, improving engine integration for minimizing noise, maximizing combustion efficiency, and reducing high-altitude emissions, but the greatest emphasis has been on understanding the contributions to sonic boom loudness and learning how to shape the airframe and integrate the engine(s) such that the boom noise is minimized.
