This paper summarizes recent propagation studies conducted at Gulfstream Aerospace for acoustic signatures propagated from quiet supersonic jets in steady, level flight. Data presented in this paper includes how atmospheric variability influences the propagation of acoustic signatures whose shaping features were achieved due to the Gulfstream Quiet Spike. Two different vehicle configurations were propagated through a wide variety of non-standard atmospheric conditions. Results from that study show that Gulfstream shaped signatures exhibit seasonal and geographic variations in loudness levels between 4 to 10 dB with most of the loudness variation being quieter than the level for the standard atmosphere. Additionally, this paper provides estimates for the number of these quiet acoustic signatures per day that might occur on the continental U.S. if supersonic business jets were permitted to operate over populated areas. Estimates for the number of occurrences show that most of the continental United States would be exposed to two or less acoustic signatures per day from the primary acoustic carpet.
