Mk II Aurora, Flight 57, Supersonic Flight, 12th November 2024

[@Pyroteknikid]

Its a rocket powered drone... Not fair to compare it with full-size air-breathing manned jet fighters. Still cool though.

[@licencetoswill]

early days, much more to come

[@SiamoonMoon]

Agreed. We'll await the actual manned flight like the big boys. Certainly, we appreciate the trail run of this scale. I'm trust that we're projected for the manned test flight Q3 or Q4 of 2026 or 2027. Again, congratulations.

[@gabbreilblue443]

I agree, The thing probably weighs less then the tires on the F-15 they mentioned.

[@Michael_Michaels]

Well, theoretically speaking, you can fit a human inside it! Sort of!...

Comparing what is little more than a rocket powered RC plane to an F15 or a Concorde is just idiotic...

Parabéns pelo trabalho. A propósito, no primeiro instante, pensei que fosse um vôo tripulado.

[@Kamanya]

Can we have the full flight please?

[@TheDarkFalcon]

If this is rocket powered wouldnt the accent speed be better compared to... A rocket? 🤔

[@CainNightFall]

Amazing!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@IanBussAudio]

Size you can scale. Speed, durability, and altitude are definites.

[@Corleone007]

not exactly, increased mass = increased intertia = higher tensions in structure

[@johnbigelson7471]

@@Corleone007 ^^ what he said. The world would be a lot simplier if real life functioned all like software; it doesn't. Bigger also means more difficult transportation and joints; as some things can't be cast at any size.

This is not the first civilian aircraft after Concorde to exceed Mach 1. First was Spaceship One.

[@Andre_tc]

Spaceship, mach... 25! 😂

[@Miko_of_the_North]

Dude that's a very poor comparison even worse then this craft to a F15. A spacecraft is not comparable to an aircraft. Why even say this?

[@alaneisenberg4203]

Bravo!!!!

[@TheBoogie]

Bravo!

[@uhyeah9243]

Very impressive and in NZ to boot 👍

[@streetfit909]

Great accomplishment no doubt from an engineering standpoint. But not a good comparison to Concord in my view. Concorde was in another league - a passenger jet, which comes with a lot more constraints than an unmanned, scaled-down model aircraft. This is an encouraging proof of concept which hit some benchmarks, but has not tackled others yet.

look at the 45th second 0:45 of the video in slow motion a UFO

[@TheEnzedone]

No, was hoping it was. But after checking frame by frame unfortunately not😢

[@chrisdrake4692]

Do not put music on your next video. There's nothing more important than sound in supersonic civilian flights - covering this up is doing yourselves a massive disservice.

[@craigbowie8925]

Go Dawn!

[@Jarnis-v1c]

Conveniently ignoring SpaceShipOne and SpaceShipTwo - they both were civilian supersonic planes. More than this drone is, at least.

[@DavidHall-x2o]

cant wait

[@willharmatuk4723]

Not bad, not bad at all. Considering it took nations’ bloated budgets to build the Concorde, F-15, and Mig-25, not bad at all.

[@Duvstep910]

🤔 seems strange to compare the physics of a scale model going supersonic vs something like the concorde; we dont even get to see a shockwave or hear a boom

[@ELcinegatto87]

The world's most expensive RC toy.

[@baxterjohnson-ronald]

Wicked!

[@eadeziopereira.6813]

Incrível mesmo

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Ummm, guuuuys,... Doesn't this also make Aurora the first Remotely Piloted Vehicle to go Supersonic under power? Might even count as the first RC Aircraft to do it, depending on how the piloting is done, manually vs autonomous, with the latter being the realm of cruise missiles.

[@rackets001]

I was all excited until I found out it was a toy airplane. "Supersonic civil flight has finally been achieved once again like the Concorde!" Except that there's no room for a dog, let alone a single, solitary passenger! 😂

[@Corleone007]

no cockpit, no man fits inside... it should be compared with rockets or drones, not Concorde 🤣🤣

[@jasonraines7629]

WOW -- if you guys actually solve the single-stage to orbit, no fuel tanks no booster spaceplane equation then you will rule low earth orbit. Congratulations!

[@Mp57navy]

To achieve orbit you will always need 2 stages or at least seperate burns. Or be HIGHLY inefficient.

Is is due to fade away. They have been busy for so long and the only result is a rocket powered model plane. First civil plane to break the soundbarrier come on, loads of model rockets entered space with twice the speed of sound.
