Tools and partnerships with the company I work for, StandardAero. I'm confident Overture will take to the skies with paying passengers by 2030 and I want to be one of the first to fly. Symphony will push Overture to new destinations that Concord couldn't go.

Not a design flaw. Poor maintenance by Air France killed it. Missing wheel spacer meant it drifted off center on the runway, to where the debris from a US jet had fallen. If it had run down the center, never would have hit the debris. If the FOD Walk had been done, the debris would not have been there.

@@PiDsPagePrototypes It doesn't change the fact that this so called engineer lied about the Concorde's ability to supercruise without reheat.

So, haven't watched any of their development video then?

@@PiDsPagePrototypes yes, and they acknowledge their design is intended for supersonic over ocean routes, not over land. The prototype exhibits none of the necessary features for shock wave reduction.

Doesn't appear so.

No, it is just another of those channels that sprang up during the lockdown. Basically do not watch channels from after 2019. Most of them are shit.

Europe also banned supersonic flight over it's territory. The rest of the world followed suit. Also, the military is restricted to certain corridors over unpopulated areas for supersonic flight.

It was from Enviro hippies

well, shed your intellectual lethargy and get after answers in preference to passive speculation. We believe in you. You can do it!

@@ToddDunning Enviro hippies getting paid via donations from Boeing lobbyists. Boeing also had a hand in designing the 'tests' used to back up the ban push, with testing being done with military jets at low level over major cities, and not the high level over rural places where the flightpaths would have been. The same city that hated Concorde because of those tests, loves Fleet Week.

military typically only goes supersonic in designated areas or when scrambled as an emergency response

Is the sonic booms also relevant?

Imo the sweet spot of SST is business jets.

@@Quatuux Yes, but business jets for those that can afford a $250M private airplane so, Musk and a few other billionaires!

@@Raptorman0909 Firstly, a SSBJ wouldn't be so expensive imo. Secondly, most BJ buyers are not individuals but companies.

@@Quatuux A common Gulfstream costs right about $80M, there's no way a SST for a private individual, whether or not they use a shell company as about 99.44% of them do to buy it, is going to be anywhere near as cheap as a G800. The newer SST's will operate the engines in much the same fashion as the did with Concorde, that is, the use of afterburner for takeoff and some of the climb-out, but then operate super-cruise during cruise -- hate to break it to ya, but those engines are going to be more expensive than the RR Pearl engines. The fuselage must be more advanced to deal with adiabatic heating at supersonic speeds and that isn't going to be cheap. My best guess is a SST for private people will be 2X to 4X the cost of a G800, in part because of the technology needed, but also because they will not sell many of them! There were a total of 20 Concordes built, that's it, 20! If we imagine a similar number of new SST's being built the design and engineering costs will be spread over about 20 planes and if it cost just $1B to design and engineer the plane the amortized cost to design and engineer alone would be $50M per plane. And the total design and engineering is likely to cost way more than $1B, in fact, I'd be surprised if it was less than $2B and if $2B is a more reasonable number then the cost per plane for engineering and design alone could easily exceed $100M. And that's before you account for the actual construction, testing, CERTIFICATION, and other associated equipment is needed, you know, like a simulator!.

Someone needs to make an SR-71 type design, that thing cruised for most of its flight time at mach 3 and was the envy of soviet attempts to replicate the same performance.

You are right, In fact was the main difference in performance with the Tupolev supersonic Tu-144 . Last one need the afterburner to mantain high speeds, and that caused short range among other things

If it had needed reheat, that would have made for a very wet end of the flight across the Atlantic.

Exacly right.
