Never managed to see Concord, so.wish I did and to have a flight

Yes you are probably right on a 2023 gross profit of $5.458 billion 😯

Supersonic aircraft like Boom Supersonic’s Overture achieve the power necessary for supersonic flight through advanced jet engine technology, optimized aerodynamics, and lightweight materials. I will produce a short / video on the detail

@SkyGeeksUK so in 1960 the SR71 managed Mach 3 and in 2024 the fastest plane still is Mach 3, why is that??

Great question! There are several reasons why commercial aircraft speeds haven't significantly increased since the 1960s: 1. **Fuel Efficiency**: Modern aircraft prioritize fuel efficiency over speed . High-bypass turbofan engines, which are more fuel-efficient, perform best at lower speed. Flying faster would consume much more fuel, making it economically unfeasible. 2. **Environmental Concerns**: With a growing focus on sustainability, burning more fuel for higher speeds isn't aligned with environmental goals. Slower speeds reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. 3. **Economic Factors**: The cost of aviation fuel has risen significantly since the 1960s. Slower speeds help airlines save on fuel costs, which is crucial for their profitability. 4. **Noise Regulations**: Supersonic flights generate sonic booms, which are disruptive and have led to restrictions on supersonic travel over land. This limits the practicality of faster commercial aircraft 5. **Demand**: There hasn't been a strong demand for faster air travel. The Concorde, which could fly at Mach 2, was retired due to high operational costs and limited market demand These factors combined have led to a focus on efficiency and sustainability rather than speed in modern aircraft Does this help clarify things?

@SkyGeeksUK many thanks for your in depth reply say what limits planes flying at 100,000 feet where air resistance is much less? less resistance must equal better economy correct?

While flying at 100,000 feet might offer some theoretical efficiency gains, current aircraft are not designed for such extreme altitudes due to aerodynamic, engineering, and economic constraints. For now, the “sweet spot” remains in the 30,000-45,000-foot range for most commercial aviation.

Thanks so much. We love your comment ❤️

Thank you very much. Welcome aboard and enjoy the flight

You would have thought so, yes. I wonder who made the mistake, the refuellers or pilots, or someone else

They seem to evoke good memories people, shame they went

Thank you and welcome aboard, enjoy the flight

An interesting perspective from somebody with some experience. It would seem that the majority of people imagine only the glamour of being a pilot but not the hardships to pursue a career in doing something they love. I think international cricketers, tennis players and golfers and the like continually on the circuit being away from home are in a similar position to pursue a career they love.

Good question @garry843 Airlines include life vests as a crucial safety measure for several reasons: Regulatory Requirements: Aviation authorities like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandate that all aircraft flying over water must be equipped with life vests for each passenger and crew member Passenger Safety: In the unlikely event of a water landing or emergency evacuation over water, life vests provide buoyancy and support, significantly increasing the chances of survival Psychological Comfort: Knowing that life vests are available can provide passengers with a sense of security and peace of mind during flights, especially those that cross large bodies of water. Practical Design: Modern life vests are designed to be compact and easy to deploy. They are inflatable, which means they take up minimal space on the aircraft but can be quickly inflated when needed. Overall, while the likelihood of needing a life vest is very low, their presence is a critical part of ensuring passenger safety and compliance with aviation regulations.

Wrong

Ok have a good day

Hey in answer to your question then yes this is AI generated, but I hope that you still find them interesting and entertaining. I will be producing non AI when the channel becomes more established. Thanks

Anyone feel free to correct, but I think shorts are under a minute long and this was just over?

Thank you and welcome aboard, enjoy the flight !!!

Thanks just starting out let me know if you have any subjects you would like to see

Thank you and welcome aboard, enjoy the flight !!!
