Monte Carlo transport calculations have been carried out to estimate the dose travelers in supersonic aircraft will receive from a typical spectrum of solar-flare protons. The dose, from both primary protons and secondary particles, as a function of depth in a tissue slab placed at various depths in the atmosphere, has been obtained. The incident spectrum is broken into eight energy regions and the dose from the incident protons in each of these regions is presented.
