NEW Boom SuperSonic Is Making An INCREDIBLE Comeback. Here's Why

Hmmm

Same ol' story Boom will go Boom

The Aerion was the closest anyone came to a supersonic a/c after Concorde. Their success will come down to funding and engines

2026? Doubt

that fule will cost alot more adding to an already insane ticket price. But the market is still their for almost emergeny business situlations

It's not that people want to travel faster to their destination, it's more to do with how comfortable they feel while flying. I think it:s great to travel at over mach 1 or higher,, but the risks are too high. So why not build a commercial aircraft that offers more benefits to all passengers such as more spaces, and wellness or whatever there is that customers want when they fly while at the same time, reducing cost and carbon footprints? Just my opinion.

You need to do some research regarding areodynamic developments, fuels and construction materials

No engine...end of story

Concord was a good plane that should have had further development to improve safety. What spoilt it was poor runway maintenance and the disaster it caused.

Someone fucked up big time.

The best design is right in front of us, ie, the one and only... Rockwell B1 Lancer. Especially the B1-As

Just have it modified for passenger flight for God's sake, see the fun begin

Great summary video. But curiously - do I detect an Irish person attempting an American accent for the narration voice here? Hmm...

America 🇺🇸 came last 🤷‍♂️

Incorrect facts about concorde

it hasn't happened yet - engines are a big question mark.

Imagine them on EL AL, British Airways, LATAM or Azul

Overture only exists in CGI. Let's see how the XB-1 performs.

So basically they have all the same problems that Concorde had!
They'll have to save an immense amount of weight and improve engine efficiency by an unbelievable amount to be able to carry less passengers than Concorde.
Unrealistic?

they don't have an engine supplier. Until then.......

Xb1 flew extremely slow slower than two hundred knots

One word on why this plane can't be successful in commercial service: Slots. Every time you leave a busy airport, you need a departure slot, and every time you arrive at an airport, you need an arrival slot. The problem these planes have is that the only seat maybe 100 people and that means that to transport those people from London to JFK, you need a takeoff slot and a landing slot, so to move 300 people, you would need 3 takeoff and 3 landing slots, for a total of six slots. . A single 787 can carry the same number of people and 21,000 kilograms of cargo and takes only one departure and one arrival slot. Now once the plane lands, many of those fliers will take connecting flights and if 2/3rds of those people do so, that means that with a 100 seat plane, you fill 66 seats on your connecting flights, while with the 787, you fill 200 seats on connecting flights. Heathrow is full. JFK is full. Miami is full. Now maybe you could get some slots in the middle of the night, but this would not be a desirable time for wealthy people to fly themselves around. Last but not least, many 1st class seats are upgrade seats used by business flyers that get coupons for upgrades. They are not paying for those seats. While some might think that it has a chance as a business jet, the typical trans Atlantic business jet seats 8-10 people. Having a plane that seats 100 people means you are paying a lot of money when you can fly in a very luxurious private jet that takes longer to get there, but does not make you go to an airport 2 hours in advance and will only take you between major airports, where as with your private jet, you can go to an airport close to your destination (London City vs Heathrow or Gatwick).
