Description
-
The past and future air travel market is discussed in the light of technical progress. In the realm of subsonic aircraft design, the general problems of economics, performance and propulsion system selection are discussed. Supersonic transports will likely handle the bulk of future long-haul traffic and major factors affecting their development are discussed. These problems include speed selection, economics, handling characteristics and sonic boom.
