Summary

In an earlier paper the lower bounds for the pressure jumps across the bow shock waves of a supersonic transport were derived, it being assumed that all the shocks had coalesced into either the bow or rear shocks, but not that the shocks were at such a great distance (asymptotic) that they had the same strength. In this paper the results of the earlier work are developed so that the lower bounds for the pressure jumps across shock waves propagating through a homogeneous atmosphere are determined by considering bow and rear shock waves simultaneously.
