Summary

In this paper lower bounds are obtained for the intensity of the sonic bang resulting from a slender aircraft flying straight and level at supersonic speeds. The lower bounds are obtained for an aircraft subject to various constraints on its total lift, volume, area distribution and centre-of-pressure position. The work described proves the results quoted in an earlier paper, corrects the results given in that paper for the general configuration, and extends the results to cover more constraints, mainly the centre-of-pressure position.
