Sonic booms have been generated by aircraft ever since the X-1 exceeded Mach 1 in 1947. Within a few years sonic boom was understood by aerodynamicists to be the shock wave pattern from the aircraft - a rediscovery of a phenomenon already familiar to the ballistics community. Substantial flight test activity ensued to quantify booms. In parallel, a theoretical understanding of sonic booms grew rapidly. This paper reviews the progress of sonic boom measurements and theory over the past half century, showing the synergy between the two, the current state of the art, and problems that remain to be solved. © 2003 by Authors.
