Abstract
An overpressure ground signature with more than two shocks is proposed for sonic boom minimization. A procedure coupling linear-theory-based sonic boom theory with a state-of-the-art optimization tool is presented. The method is used to reshape a candidate supersonic aircraft for a reduced initial shock pressure rise.
