Some military aspects of supersonic transports
ResearchPublished 1958
A discussion of military air transport and of the circumstances in which it may be desirable to procure supersonic transports. This 1958 study attempts to show that a decision to spend military research and development funds on a supersonic transport was one based on an evaluation of the relative importance of conflicting extra-economic factors and that a development decision would not be necessary for several years unless national prestige were of overriding importance.
