Relatively speaking, and in terms of its potential usefulness in making sound management decisions affecting the future flight of the SST over populated areas, much of the proposed research on human response can be considered to be among the least expensive of all the major facets of research connected with the development and operation of the SST. In terms of field work for example, the very small cost of human response studies relative to the cost of flying supersonic aircraft in overflight tests, makes clear the need to be ready to gather a maximum of appropriate human response data should appropriate opportunities arise in connection with scheduled supersonic military training flights over populated areas.
