Exclusive look at NASA’s low-boom supersonic plane

If this plane can do what they hope it can do it will still take at a minimum of a decade or more before it becomes truly viable commercially until then it’s just another experimental plane no matter how cool it is.

The Concord was grounded because of a serious fatal accident killing 109 that reduced number of booked flights. They made money until then, contrary to your “report”.
Cost of maintenance, and noise levels during landing and takeoff was certainly another reason.

lol who cares if this prez can fly supersonic.. wuhuu Biden can fly supersonic. USA USA USA.. c’mon
no little CNET gal, imagine a future where USA didn’t tumble the world in pollution and sectarian tensions.
it’s freaking tragic to see the insane weapon sale Obama & Hillary adm. has undermined the world with.
you think it’s because Saud Arabia (who loves to finance these sunnnni-groups lSlL and AlQ4ida and chop-up up journalists at foreign embassies.) that the suddenly want a female USA prez.. Its the world’s most female-hostile nation.
why do you think Saudi regime was one of Hillarys biggest financiers to her prez campaign??
we want that insane trillion dollars weaponsale to continue from Obama ad… not good to weaponize some of the most ideological driven two tongue regimes to the teeth in modern western weapons.
Really liked Obama the first few years, but what a fluke. now top the charts on the adm. that has undermined the world the most.(and the claim that he is the most dangerous prez to ever sit in the white house certainly has some merits looking on macrostates)

Scaling this design up to 100 passengers would make it something like 120 meters long.
The design looks to have very little practical spare space, to allow for passengers in the full size version.

gull like wings – like gulls travel faster than the speed of sound, maybe that is why we do not hear a sonic boom when gulls fly 🙂

The boom wasn’t the only problem with supersonic flight–the main issue is that it’s even more inefficient than subsonic flight, and burns a tremendous amount of fuel. I know United is advertising they’ll generate their fuel in some carbon-neutral way (biofuels?) but you could do that for any plane, in principle–the question is whether it can be economically sustainable. This is a big problem across the whole aviation industry, and planes that burn more fuel to go that fast certainly won’t help.
Ultimately, the issue with the Concorde was that few people were willing to pay that much for supersonic flight except as a pure status symbol. Most people just don’t need to commute across an ocean faster than a typical jetliner will take you. Over the past year and a half, one thing we’ve learned is that in a world of networked business and instantaneous video conferencing accessible to the masses, a lot of business travel we used to do probably doesn’t need to happen at all. And when you’re traveling for pleasure, you’re not in as big a hurry.

it will come down to two critical questions – how fast can it fly @ 75db, and how many people it can carry @ that speed.
I don’t think either number is going to be impressive, and therefore I don’t believe it can ever successfully commercialize.

I was in Brooklyn, NY about 20 years or so ago. I kept hearing these loud booms but couldn’t figure out where they originated. The guy who was hosting a graduation party for his son told me it was from the JFK airport located so far away you couldn’t see it without binoculars. So yea – that sounds awfully loud for people living anywhere near such a plane delivering sonic booms around the clock.

It’s not completely uninteresting but those guys are liars. For lockheed skunkworks and test pilots of their designs, they have dealt with vastly more interesting things. Treasonous things perhaps. If you think about it, what could they have worked on that wouldn’t be much higher spec that this lame duck. Merely supersonic in 2021… When they built titanium mach 3 birds in 1958. Bish, please. Head of Lockheed skunkworks Ben Rich said in the 90s on multiple private occasions that they have the tech out in the desert to take ET home. Stuff that would make George Lucas envious. That anything you have seen in scifi has been done. Lockheed people, be warned, if you know something that the public should have known long ago, you better spill it or be ready to be tried for treason when the truth inevitably comes out. I’m guessing there will never be any real justice for that 70+ years of betrayal of mankind but if it was up to me you would all be tried and sentenced for treason. Obama the other day admitted in cowardly weasel way that UFOs are real. That exotic vehicles are being frequently encountered by the military. He also started by saying that he couldn’t talk about aliens. That’s something to think about. Wake up, people. Very quickly.
