![["The Federal Aviation Agency is conducting a study of the effects of sonic booms on typical structures in the New Mexico desert, as part of the national supersonic transport development program. The study will involve flying aircraft over structures to measure the impact of sonic booms, with the goal of understanding public reaction and potential sleep disturbances. The study will be conducted in two phases, with detailed planning based on the results of the first phase. The U.S. Air Force will be generating the sonic booms, and two contractors will be providing technical support and data collection. A press briefing and press tour of the site are scheduled to provide information and coverage of the study."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0000-Sonic%20Booms,%201964/thumbnails/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0011_thumbnail.jpg "FAA Study of Effects of Sonic Booms on Structures in New Mexico Desert")
