You have to go back to June 1976. The first two Concorde planes took off together from Paris (France) and London (United Kingdom). was happening The first official flight of a supersonic passenger plane, This initiative lasted for decades and had all the technical and economic power both countries,
Since then, the Concorde has been in service for 27 years. It covered the transatlantic voyages between Paris and New York (United States) in just 3 hours 30 minutes. I got it thanks to the possibility Mach 2.0. reach cruising speed of,
A conventional commercial aircraft requires 8 hours to make the same journey. No one doubted its speed, but it took a whole lot of time to get the project up and running.
The investment required for each flight was enormous. So was its maintenance. There were also legal problems due to the high noise generated by their flight. Everything points to the fact that supersonic aircraft had an expiration date. Due to a tragic accident in the year 2000, the lace was fitted with an Air France Concorde, which was carrying over 100 people.
Will there be a new supersonic plane? There are a whole generation of projects and a lot of ‘smoke’ fighting against the difficulties that exist to build such a complex aircraft. We will review them below.
expectations are positive, because Propulsion technologies and materials are much more advanced to withstand the high temperatures of jet aircraft nowadays. It is also easy to do design calculations and simulations before the vehicle is launched.
Against him is the lack of interest on the part of the states to execute ‘Pharaonic’ investments, as France and the United Kingdom did with Concorde. And that’s why new supersonic aircraft didn’t appear, because it’s so hard to make them profitable,
Another complicating factor to solve is high noise. that breaks the sound barrier (sonic Boom), also in the takeoff of creatures as powerful as Concorde. Actually, many countries have banned supersonic aircraft because of this.
Out of all the options taken, Overture is the one that has received the most orders from the commercial aviation industry. is the main reason Profitable for a very realistic project and potential for speed to carry passengers.
boom supersonic s la start up Located in Colorado (United States) which is behind the project. Its main objective is to make it a reality in 2029. The cost of each aircraft is 200 million dollars (about 199.72 million euros).
As a curious detail, it can be said that it is least ambitious proposal the specifications of which are presented. It lapped at ‘only’ Mach 1.7, which is a lower speed than the original Concorde. In its improved configuration it can carry 88 passengers. At a minimum, it will offer space for 55 occupants.
One of the most notable features of Overture is its commitment to sustainability, as it uses 100% sustainable fuel, In addition, it uses a lighter carbon fiber composite for the fuselage. It is a material that resists high temperatures better than aluminum and shrinks less due to the impacts the material can withstand in supersonic flights.
What is certain is that it has been widely accepted, along with contracts with the United States Air Force. 15 planes are also ordered United Airlines and investment Japan Airlines An amount of 10 million dollars (approximately 9.98 million euros) to start building aircraft for him.
As if it seemed little support, the most important and recent bet has come from American Airlines, which wants 20 Overtures in its hangar.
Keeping up with the promises of the Boom Supersonic and other similar projects, we must write the date 2029 very well As the beginning of a new era for supersonic travel.
