I remember reading somewhere that drag at Mach 0.98, or basically right below the speed of sound, is much higher than at supersonic speeds of 1.2 onwards. And yeah, lack of supporting infrastructure is also another issue. Honestly, for any vehicles, especially planes that cost a huge amount of money to buy and rely heavily on supporting infrastructure compared to cars, new/radical concepts or designs shouldn't be implemented. Rather, a slow introduction of a slight change in the aircraft would be better, since it would give assurance that even if the plane had didn't meet the criteria that it was supposed to, it could still very much function like a normal plane, and also that it could still run normally at any airport. Another way however, is to actually have all the boarding systems and infrastructure be built into the aircraft, which would still allow it to function at less developed airports.

I didn’t work on the Sonic Cruiser, but I had coworkers who did. The plane never made sense from the start. This was a race against Airbus for the next Gen plane. Boeing had already rejected the A380 equivalent because of the lack of market to break even. As a result, Boeing was competing the Sonic Cruiser and talked about point to point versus the hub. My friend on the proposal team said that they kept coming up with the same answer. The Sonic Cruiser didn’t make business sense. The execs told them to keep going. Once the decision was made for the A380, Boeing dropped the Sonic Cruiser and announced the 7E7, which was later named the 787. Boeing wanted Airbus to commit to the A380 (which Boeing had already determined couldn’t break even). In other words, according to my friend, the Sonic Cruiser was a big head fake.

It never really broke even, Freighter versions never materialized as plans for the construction of a freighter meant that the plane would have to be entirely redesigned as adapting the structure was impossible unlike the 747 which was originally designed to be converted into a freight as it came out in the early 1970s during the fuel crisis so Boeing hedged their bets and it paid off. The two 747-8Iis will likely be the last 747s to fly as two are currently being built and modified for use as the two 747 Air Force One jets.

By the way, I love the wing design of this sonic plane, the crescent wing form, an older variation used on the Handley Page Victor. This wing has both subsonic and supersonic qualities, that work well in the transonic region.

@cancelanime15072 жыл бұрын
@@PremierSullivan Boeing said that because of the reduced travel time it would burn around the same amount as conventional aircraft like the 777. There is absolutely a market for an aircraft that reduces flight times by several hours as long as it's for roughly the same price, we see this clearly in the rise of nonstop ultra long haul flights like Qantas's project Sunrise which shows if given the choice people will take the nonstop flight to save a few hours just like for example people would take a Sonic Cruiser that would allow them to get back by sunset instead of midnight. An aircraft like the Sonic Cruiser would allow airlines to have much more flexibility scheduling flights with convenient departure and arrival times, although one scenario where the speed becomes less ideal is overnight transatlantic flights where the aircraft would arrive too early. An ideal scenario would be taking a slower 777 or 787 overnight, arrive in the morning, do business all day and then take the faster Sonic Cruiser home so you could get back in time for dinner.. In the end what killed the Sonic Cruiser was 911 which resulted in higher fuel prices and reduced air travel demand leading to airlines wanting significantly less fuel consumption so the whole thing about the Sonic Cruiser burning around the same as a conventional aircraft wasn't good enough..

As someone who was bullied at school, the lack of pile-ons is an attractive feature.

What actually killed the program was the airline markets gate slots, the aircraft was too fast to fit in neatly into existing slots which come at great expense to the airlines.

If that's bad imagine how bad a Supersonic airliner would be for the gate slots.. It wouldn't be ideal but it's possible the system could have been tweaked a bit to allow for the Sonic Cruiser..
@frankdoll45562 жыл бұрын
They already had allotted gate slots for the Concorde which at that time cut the Transatlantic journey in half whereas the Sonic Cruiser only shaved off a couple of hours flying time. But you’re right, the proposed SST’s they’re currently working on will run into that same issue as the air routes are more congested as are gate slots since Concorde was retired. Computers could easily do the job regarding slots so long as airlines are willing to swap out slots with one another.

Good job. Now do the Boeing BWB. It is much older since Boeing first explored the technology back in the early 90’s.

Actually, they were talking about speeds that airliners like the Vickers VC10 or DH Trident were already flying at in the 1970’s.

Maybe they could have lifted the engines to the top of the fuselage and made the wing a swing wing ? The wings move forward for take off but swing backwards to drastically reduce drag, increase fuel efficiency and increase range.
@sofascialistadankulamegado17812 жыл бұрын
Overall, swing wing airframes are substantially heavier and would reduce the total flight distance because the wings wouldn’t hold as much fuel compared to a fixed wing. The recent iteration of the 765 with the engines over the wings is actually a viable STOL concept that would satisfy the requirement for low velocity landings at conventional airport runways.

As a Boeing Aeronautical engineer when this came out, I thought it was crazy because designing to fly at the Mach drag hump is very inefficient . The competition likely figured out it was designed to trick them. An oblique flying wing would have been more feasible and believable, and truly game changing capabilities. The next big competition to win the zero carbon commercial medium and long range aviation race using either LH2 or NH3 fuel will determine who dominates the future of aviation. Delaying, legalized bribing of politicians, using equally bad renewable carbon emitting fuels, is the stuff of corporations that deserve to lose.

I hate to break it to you but the BWB will never work.. It is physically impossible to safely evacuate an aircraft of that nature in 90 seconds therefore it will never be allowed.. It does probably have future in cargo, business jets and military tankers though..

Lovely design, sleek and light, paving the way to supersonic flight. Having thrusters to help landing would make the supersonic craft viable. The narrow angled wings work at high speeds. Therefore thrusters would be needed for landing and takeoff.

Actually, the wing is known as a double delta. It is not a delta wing. See the Dassault Mirage 2000 for what a true delta wing looks like.
