Extract

The navigational problems presented by supersonic aircraft do not differ essentially from those with modern four-jet aircraft. Navigation will still entail three main tasks:

i. To ensure that the crew knows the position of the aircraft at any given moment, within a reasonable time, and with the necessary accuracy.

ii. To ensure that the aircraft is operated under the best conditions of route, speed and height for profitable operation.

iii. To ensure compliance with air traffic control.
