At the recently concluded MAKS’2017 International Aerospace Salon in Moscow, the Zhukovsky Central AeroHydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) exhibited a scale model of its “Supersonic Business Jet/Supersonic Commercial Jet” (SSBJ/SSCJ). According to TsAGI, the airplane should be compliant with ICAO Chapter 14 noise levels and produce a sonic boom with intensity less than 72 dBA or 78 dB SPL (sound pressure level). The company believes the latter figures will make supersonic flight possible over land.
