    I invented. In my head. A high altitude, multi-mach jet. The idea is relatively simple and obviously I am being ignored. This is the idea. Use a completely full hydrogen balloon tethered to the aircraft with a suction tube going from the balloon into the jet. As the craft rises the balloon will want to expand. Instead of letting the balloon expand and bursting the balloon the tube going into the craft from the balloon is connected to a electric compressor onboard compressing the hydrogen sucked in from the balloon. The compressor is powered by a P.roton E.xchange M.embrane (hydrogen fuel cell). The P.E.M. also powers the onboard production of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide used for the exothermic jet which powers the jet engine. I invented this idea all by my lonesome. I get 700 dollars a month disability so I think I will patent and produce a prototype.

    Rarely get the chance to hear a Supersonic Boom for ourselves? Believe me, you don't want to hear it very often. I was growing up in one of the seven low flight areas in West Germany in the 70s and 80s, and on the sunny day there was always a good chance that you got a visit by the jets of the Luftwaffe, the RAF or the USAF, flying a few hundert meters above your village for training. A low flying jet is quit loud, but when the jets create a supersonic boom directly above you the house is shaking. And quite often it isn't just BOOM, but BOOMBOOM because the nose and the tail of the plane produce different shockwaves.

    But at 10,000+ meters altitude, the sonic boom would be much less of a problem. I'm guessing it might sound comparable to a typical thunder clap? This estimate says it might be similar to the sound of a trumpet at 0.5 meters from the ear. aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/17661/can-a-sonic-boom-produced-at-60-000-be-heard-on-the-ground

    The Centalist I disagree that supersonic flight is a "good" idea. Good engineering and good ideas are not necessarily the same thing. Regardless, this might be commercially viable in a very limited sense. Probably for the best that it stays very rare-it is less efficient and much more expensive than subsonic flight.

    +Tom Johnson - Very true. In fact, you can push it further still, because from about Mach 2, ramjets start being feasible, and they are unbelievably efficient since they don't have to expend any of their energy on rotating compressor blades. Of course ramjets become horrendously inefficient below about Mach 1.5 and they can't even produce thrust below about Mach 0.6, so you'd need a secondary engine for takeoff and landing, but if you could have a plane with a turbofan to get it up to speed, only to then switch off and pass its duties to a ramjet, that could be a very efficient supersonic plane. Regulators probably wouldn't be exstatic about the idea of routinely switching engines on and off mid-flight, but efficiency-wise, it would be a winner.

    Concorde was adjusting its center of gravity for supersonic flight by balancing the fuel from rear to front depending on flight domain, and one of the main challenge for full scale plane is skin temperature increase and the stress/fatigue for compound that form the fuselage (about 10 inches changes in the length due dilatation for Concorde)

    Concorde had massive costs because it was a lot larger and used much more expensive materials and technology. New technologies mean that it is a lot cheaper to develop and procures far cheaper materials Currently, Boom has enough funding (about $85 million the last time I checked) to complete their 1/3 scale prototype, something that would've been almost impossible financially to achieve when Concorde first flew in 1969.

    I too am skeptical, for different reasons. Computer aided design and aero simulation helps, but time and time again they find that you still have to build a physical part (or entire plane) to confirm the computer simulation. Also, carbon fiber is tricky, again you have to build the part and test, test, test.

    +John Of course, but with Concorde literally *everything* was wind tunnel tested and tested on proof-of-concept aircraft, namely the Fairey Delta/BAC 221, Bristol Type 188 and Handley Page HP.115. The first idea for Concorde originated in the early 1950s and it took until 1969 for the plane to fly. Boom however was started in 2014 with the first flight being in 2019; they are able to learn from 50 years of experience with supersonic flight and even Concorde's design itself. Granted design and testing can't be done completely using computer simulation, but now it is much easier and cheaper for a start-up like Boom to achieve producing an SST. The way I see it, the fact a start-up can even consider a supersonic transport in the face of Concorde's funding from two governments is a sign that they are on to something. Obviously Boom can talk the talk but can they walk the walk? They've pushed back the first flight of their 1/3 scale prototype twice but say they have enough venture capital to complete the first plane. So it seems they are slowly beginning to walk the walk.

Your breakdown of Boom's possible routes has me thinking: in the decade and a half since Concord's last flight, the value of supersonic travel has changed dramatically. I don't have any figures, but it's easy to imagine that the improvement of global telecommunications infrastructure might have diminished the need to get across the globe and back in just a day or two for many people. I'm very interested to see how the development and introduction of Boom into the market pans out. Cheers

    The dream of supersonic passenger air craft once again caught in turbulence. However, the company announced on May 21 [2021] that "in the current financial environment, it has proven hugely challenging to close on the scheduled and necessary large new capital requirements to finalize the transition of the AS2 into production."

    I grew up in Southern California in the 60s and and there were at least 2 or 3 sonic booms a year over my house. Most likely due to the military air bases in the area. What a lot of people don't know is there are actually two booms in a sonic boom, one from the leading edge of the plane and one from the trailing edge. If the plane is high enough you can definitely feel both.

    Interesting concept. With airports such as LAX building VIP terminals, new technologies in R&D, new materials and a vast increase in passengers who can afford such trips (flying first class in Emirates or other airlines costs as much as 25K in some flights), this type of planes start making more sense nowadays. The Concorde was truly ahead of its time and it still managed to serve for quite a while against all odds.

    The only problem is that routes like LA-Sydney and LA-London are just outside the range of the aircraft. Then again, there are islands between the two cities with runways long enough to support Boom aircraft, such as the Azores and Hawaii. Routes which stop here could still be faster than conventional flying, but with a refueling stop.

    I'm not saying that Boom can't do it, I don't think they can make it commercially viable. Dissecting that, I'm looking at the costs for Jet A which hasn't gone down at the same rate as your average petrol price. On fuel alone, the cost is going to be astronomic. Throw in the charges for flight into controlled airspace and having those pokey little Cessnas and Gulfstreams get out of the way, and you don't really have much of a customer base that can afford the flight. Then we get to maintenance, engines aren't cheap, neither are composite structures. Both require routine maintenance and inspection by someone that doesn't have his head where the sun doesn't shine. I don't think Boom is going to work.

  • @sasjadevries
    @sasjadevries7 жыл бұрын

    Still some concerns: How is it going to take off without flaps? Use ailerons as flaps and use canards for the pitch or so? Or are they just taking off at a higher speed? Next question: afterburners or longer runways? If the solution to problems is "just use carbon fiber", then that sounds quite stupid. Firstly because Carbon fibre is more expensive, so good luck making the plane cheaper. Then carbon fiber is not always the best option, sometimes glassfiber gives your better performance. Carbon fiber is used as a marketing thing way too often, I mean carbon fiber inlays on your dashboard don't serve any purpose, and still people buy it. So any time you hear someone talking about carbon fiber you should be thinking: is carbon really the best option or is it some more marketing BS. And then for racing cars carbon fiber is a preferable choice because of it's stiffness, that's not something you need in an airliner flying in a straight line. Saying "it's better, cuz it's carbon fiber" means you're an engineering noob, real engineers should mention the reason why they made that choice. 6:30 Yeah, just make the wings longer and narrower, drag reduction, wuhuu!! Why hasn't anyone else thought about this before? Well perhaps they have, and perhaps they thought about increased wing tip vortices. Pretty much what's more efficient at high speed is less efficient at low speeds, good luck taking off and climbing. Then I came across this: _"Very low aspect ratio wings glide only a little better than a brick so the consequences of loosing power some distance from the runway are more serious."_ Basically once your engine's are down you need a runway to land on *right now,* not sometime you get to the coast. Good luck getting that certified. 8:02 But then: where does the kinetic energy go? I only thing I see this working is by a sort of opposite venturi-effect, where the area is increased and the speed is decreased. I mean the speed doesn't reduce on it's own. Not saying it won't work, but I'm just talking about a relatively big engine, which rakes in much space, with only a small inlet. Not to bad, but not ideal either. 8:07 Digitally _"controlled, movable"_ yeah, sounds cool, but it's overly complicated, so what if it fails? You might think: no big deal, it will just fly less efficiently. *-And run out of fuel before reaching the coastline.* You could solve this by taking more fuel with you and less passengers. And end up with too expensive flight-tickets. Generally when doing something innovative the money you saved by the improvement are to be spend on testing and certification. Landing on a camera is not as easy as it sounds, you will have to first prove it's safe to do so. And especially in aerospace industries, finding a solution always has it's drawbacks, that's why a super innovative design could actually perform worse. I don't want to be a hater here, but you've got to be realistic man. I would love to see a doable, thought-through, reliable design of a supersonic airliner.

Also Concorde had possibly the most efficient delta Wing possible to be design in the form of the ojival delta wing boom does not have this. Also boom is a lot smaller so engineering wise is easier to create. but as said a good video but arguments isn't fully balanced.

    Still kinda hard to see the market for this. Nowadays the Security Theatre means you have to check in hours before each international flight anyway, which means the flight time itself is less relevant. Even if the flight is fast, flying as an end-to-end experience is not, so for business travellers it's all about offering a nice environment in which you can get some work done and/or get some sleep. At least Boom recognise that, but it seems doubtful that enough people will pay through the nose on a regular basis to cut what amounts to only about 20% off their end-to-end travel time.

    I'm surprised that you left out 1 major detal. Now, I had to re-research this before posting the rest of this. Now, I've been studying airplanes and flight since I was a kid. When I say "studing airplanes" I mean EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING ABOUT THEM you can think of INCLUDING airplane crashes, how it happened, and what the FAA FBI and NTSB said and did to try to fix it. Now I think I just entered a Mandella Effect. pilots and airplane enthusiasts. correct me if I'm wrong, and think about this before you look it up. But to my recolection and from researching everything on the Concorde including the History Channel (When it was the real History Channel) and Air disasters, and everything that was online, (before I looked it up again tonight) The Concorde had 4 crashes that were very well documented. The last Concorde crash was in France in 2000. Air France flight 4590 departed Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport on July 25th and crashed shortly after takeoff, killing everyone on board including 4 people on the ground. No crashes? Lol I think not. Flight 4590 went down because a 1 foot long piece of steel or aluminum from a Douglas DC-10 fell from it's engine shortly before the Concorde taxi'd to the runway. The Concorde ran over the piece of steel or aluminum, and the piece ruptured the left fuel tank, leaking fuel as she took off. The heat generated from the engines thrust, ignited the fuel and started burning the Concorde while trying to turn around to make an emergency landing until she had no more thrust and pitched up before bellyflopping on the ground, exploding in a massive fireball killing all on board and 4 people on the ground. They should continue research on the New Supersonic passenger more before REALLY building and test flying the bird. No doubt Airplane, Helicopter, and balloon crashes are inevitible. But there are ways to make Airplanes safer. Just takes time, research, and funding. Also, I'm sorry I forgot your youtube name. But I completely fucking agree with you!!! :) The SR-71 Blackbird is the worlds most badass amazing Airplane to ever take to the skies! 2,250Mph at 86,000 Feet!! Not even the Concorde could top that shit! In an SR-71 Blackbird Documentary, they said at 2,250Mph, they went a mile a second. They also tried putting machine guns on it at one point as a test lol. The bullet was shot, flew foreward about 2 feet, then they passed the bullet as if someone ran next to you at the same speed as you, then you sprinted even faster and left him in the dust! Great video otherwise!! Keep Flying my friends! :)

    They fixed the problem of overpressure in the fuel tanks, the weakness of the tyres and even then it is clear that the crash was a result of external factors including the metal on the runway which could kill any plane regardless and the fact that a vital piece has been omitted from the axle that causes the plane to veer. Concord was and is an extremely safe plane and did not deserve or need to be retired.

Given that we have no history about maintenance on those type of frames and maintenance was one of the killing factor in the concorde program... And we are only focusing on the 'innovations' they bring and not on the problems the concorde manage to avoid and that BOOM! will face : for exemple the negociations that allowed the concorde to land in NY. Anyway as an aero engineer, I don't beleive it will work, maybe we'll see the single seater prototype fly but we won't see the full scale plane in serive.

    Thomas Fernandez they're not going for innovation, it's just supposed to be a cheaper, more efficient version of the Concorde

    Yeah I see more difficulties in getting sales and operating the plane rather than planning it. I'm interested in your opinion from a technological point of view though. Is there a satisfactory solution to fight the inefficiency at low speed and taxiing?

    When I was a kid, I heard sonic booms quite frequently from military flights over German cities. Believe me, this is something you can leave off your bucket list.
