Abstract
[Object] To provide a supersonic aircraft and a method of reducing sonic booms, by which sonic booms due to engine exhaust can be reduced. [Solving Means] A supersonic aircraft includes: a pair of engine nacellesR,L mounted on a fuselageof an airframe; finsR,L as a pair of shielding plates that inhibits engine exhaustdischarged from jet engines (not shown) accommodated in the engine nacellesR,L from wrapping downward around the airframe; and a pair of horizontal tailsR,L disposed behind the engine nacellesR,L. The finsR,L are disposed on the horizontal tailsR,L so as to sandwich the engine exhaust, respectively.
