Extract

To provide a basis for discussion of air traffic control problems some of the operating characteristics of long haul subsonic and supersonic jet transport aircraft are examined. Two trans-Atlantic aircraft are compared, one designed to cruise at 500 knots (Mach 0·85) and the other at 1,250 knots (Mach 2·2).
