Engineering Problems Associated with Supersonic Transport Aircraft: Choice of Materials for the Mach 2.2 SST, Results of Thermal Stresses, Choice of Glazing, Systems, Aircraft Heat Balance and Power Plant Design

Abstract

MANY papers have been written in recent years on various technical aspects of the supersonic transportaircraft—aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and systems. In attempting to give yet another paper on this topic, it was felt the subject should be reviewed in a more general way, by considering a variety of engineering problems which arise in the design and development of such an aircraft.
