Abstract
A method of determining the size of a supersonic transport that will be competitive in a future air traffic market is discussed. Traffic volume forecasts, year of introduction, type of aircraft, and flight frequency are used to select a basic configuration and size. Then engine-airframe matching analyses, landing and takeoff restraints, and the designer's judgment are balanced against direct operating costs to determine the final size.
