AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE TO REDUCE SONIC BOOM INTENSITY

摘要

The structure of a fuselage of an aircraft having a plurality of apertures therein which permit high pressure air to be received within the confines of the exterior portion of said fuselage, and means within said fuselage adapted to direct and control the flow of said air until the energy thereof has been substantially reduced or same is emitted through carefully situated ports. The effective cross-sectional area of the nose portion of said fuselage is thereby substantially reduced so as to cause a similar reduction of the drag upon said aircraft.
