One of the first commercial hypersonic passenger plane being developed is powered entirely by hydrogen. It can carry up to 25 passengers, travel 10,000 km and go Mach 5 utilizing hybrid engine technology.

I re-uploaded this video to reemphasize that the oxidizer and fuel source were two different things. I apologize for this confusion & I thank the people who pointed out the error.

As a kid they brought us out of elementary school to go out and watch the sky for the sound barrier test. I barely remember but its a pretty cool memory.

Cool stuff! Not my area of expertise, but where does this leave the Rotating Detonation Engine? Is there still a place/use for it? Thanks!

RDE is the way to go if they can't get scramjet's to run @ high altitude above 100,000 ft. There is way less sonic boom audible levels above that but it's a matter of getting to that altitude without triggering the boom. It might have to happen with MHD or some other outside tech.

What I don't understand, if this becomes a means of civilian transportation, is how the passengers would deal with the G-force. Air Force pilots and astronauts undergo special training to be able to withstand the G-force involved with flying vehicles that travel at multiple Mach speeds, but how would civilians in a commercial aircraft that travels that fast fare with it?

When I flew concorde I wasn't aware of any g forces when travelling at twice the speed of sound. Not even a ripple on my gin and tonic. Also it was the quietest jet I ever flew on. I think that you are confusing acceleration with constant speed.

haha, it looks just like the Normandy from Mass Effect!

What about utilizing the VASIMR method of confining the combustion via strong magnetic fields? That way no issues with temperature or ablation within the engine? Preferably through the entire length of the engine? Yes I know a large source of power would be needed (the kind that could only be supplied by a nuclear reactor) but that's the only way I know of to get long term use out of a hypersonic engine.

It may not be enough thrust for now but electric propulsion could be the future if we can figure out the energy requirements.

@meltdown6165 3 ай бұрын

You would need to ionize huge amounts of incoming air. I guess you could do that by compression heating, but would need absurdly high inlet temperatures (~10000 K). Current VASIMR prototypes have fuel flow rates of some hundred milligrams per second.

I’m surprised they didn’t make a slower one but with more passenger space

I watched another youtube video about a company producing a supersonic passenger plane and they praised it a lot. BUT the shape was similar to the Concorde, which means it'll have the same sonic boom problems that Concorde had. No mention of expected range. They didn't seem to care about overland flights, which means their routes would be limited to the same routes the Concorde had. That seems to be economic suicide, only transatlantic, not transpacific and over-continent flights. don't you think ? The shape of the X-59 aircraft, which is trying to prove that sonic thumps would be more acceptable, doesn't seem to amenable to passenger service since 30 to 40 % of the total fuselage length would be non-passenger space.

Scramjets are usually not, uhm, passenger jets. Not at Earth level anyway. It would go to speeding up and slowing down, with nothing in between. They had a lot of these completely shatter and fly apart in many pieces when they were working on them even in the 1990s and 2000s from what I read (back when theninyernet was more useful and less commercial... Google).

Australia are ahead in scramjets since Ray Stalker Aussie was first to get essence of flight from them, Australia has world fastest scramjet at mach 12 and helped USA in hypersonics in HIFIRE and now SCIFIRE joint USA, Australia tests Australian scramjet runs on hydrogen is first 3d printed and inturned inlet design, Australian company can accelerate their scramjet up and down during flight thus controlling it's speed and can turn it off and on during flight. Australian company say by being able to tun engine on and off during flight enables the drone to fly further and skip along the earth's atmosphere like a stone skipping a pond. Australia will test fly a hypersonic scramjet drone in less then 300 days and just won a USA DUI HYCAT contract to build USA hypersonic vehicles. Kratos is building the booster rocket for the drone to get it to mach 5 for the scramjet to fire, Kratos has also preordered 200 of these drones if the flight is successful. Earlier versions of this scramjet have been used in Australia part of HIFIRE. HAWC and HACM scramjet missiles were developed through HIFIE and SCIFIRE also and if study them all they look almost identical in designs..
