Abstract
Avionic display systems and methods are provided for generating avionic displays including symbology decreasing the likelihood of boom tolerance threshold exceedance (an overpressure events) due to potential constructive interference between pressure waves occurring during supersonic flight. In various embodiments, the avionic display system includes a display device on which an avionic display is generated. A controller architecture is operably coupled to the display device and configured to determine when there exists a possibility for an overpressure event to occur in a future timeframe due to constructive interference between colliding pressure waves, which are forecast to occur during the impending supersonic flight of one or more A/C. When determining that there exists a possibility for an overpressure event to occur in the future timeframe due to constructive interference between pressure waves, the controller architecture further generates symbology or other graphics on the avionic display indicative of the potential occurrence of the overpressure event.
