What isnew is an awareness among modern scientists of thecomplex interrelations that exist between society,technology, people and the surrounding wodd. Formerly those concerned with developing a newairplane considered only those features of the planewhich would affect its flying qualities. Now, as thenew supersonic transport is being designed, scientistsare considering how its exhaust will contaminate theatmosphere; how its noise will disturb the peoplearound the airport; what kind of new airports willbe needed; how these airports may disturb popula-tion patterns, transportation, and the economy of theregion in which they may be located.
