Filming a Supersonic Test Plane (Boom Supersonic)

[@kenwhitfield219]

Great job! This is by far, the best introduction video to Boom Supersonic. Not too technical to confuse the viewer, but comprehensive to tell the story of the Iverture’s development process.

[@s3_build]

We are proud to have finally delivered something the Boom community has wanted for years: a video over 2 minutes. Jokes aside this was such a special episode for me (Jason) to film. I first heard about boom around ~2020, before I was filming anything remotely as cool as things like this, and was excited. To now get to be the first external person allowed to film and tell their story 4 years later is surreal. This episode is a milestone for Boom, and also for how we make S3. I want to create the best films about human potential and capture the moments of achievement. Changes coming, more soon :)

[@GiveMeSpaceTravel-bg8td]

Yes they should wait until it goes supersonic until they call it a supersonic test plane.

[@lebojay]

When it goes supersonic, they will have achieved what Northrop achieved in 1961 with the T-38. Why would that be impressive?

[@bigfartfart]

@@lebojay it is impressive because successfully creating a supersonic aircraft isn't something that everyone can easily do

[@fteoOpty64]

When he said," a startup is moving much faster and we still adhere to safety seriously:....In truth he means, they are pushing to the limits of known safety. You cannot measure what you don't know. Pushing the limit might allow one to extend the safety measure more than before. It is called pioneering innovation. Yeah, there are risks, they will say calculated risk but that is a fancy term meaning "trust me, I feel it can do it".

[@cb2000a]

The closest I ever got to supersonic was many years ago on a DC10. It was the day of the Seattle earthquake and our flight from Honolulu to Seattle was delayed by 12 hours. When I was boarding the airplane the pilot told a young girl in front of me that he had clearance to "put the pedal to the metal". The flight was 4.5 hours. I could tell from the sound that we were going faster than normal. There was a medical emergency on the plane about 1/2 hour out of SEATAC and we went straight in. That extra hour shaved off of the flight made a huge difference.

[@irn2flying]

Very cool. FYI, if you fly on the Dreamliner today (787), you are probably about the same speed as the DC10 at high Mach. (I flew the DC10, and if memory serves MMO on the DC10 was .88) The Dreamliner is closer to .92, normal cruise .85-.86.🙂

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

What an amazing time to be alive. I grew up on a farm in Ontario Canada in the 50s where we had a phone that was a wooden box on the wall. Now I have fibre optic internet connection into my home and can see developments like this unfold before my eyes in real time.

Those are the same reasons there are now some rich tourists keeping the Titanic company for eternity. There are other countries with these attributes, but they aren’t doing this. There’s a reason why. In addition to the attributes you mentioned, America also has an unhealthy case of hubris. Just because you can imagine it and are committed to it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea or that you’re qualified to carry it out. Ask Icarus.

[@momo_the_duck]

@@lebojayWhile I agreee with you with some points you've made, these guys seem pretty qualified for the job. The idea is to make faster travel accesible to more people by making the technology cheaper to produce while being safe (I hope). Is that a bad idea? I think not. Besides that this guy Blake Scholl seems to have some humbleness in comparison to Stockton Rush who refused to listen to anyone.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="431">7:11</a> Both jet engines shown here are Pratt and Whitney turbofan engines, neither are turbojets! The first looks like a newer PW1100G geared turbofan used on the A320neo and other modern narrowbody planes, which MTU is a supplier for, and the second looks like a JT9D, used on the Boeing 747 and other widebodies.

[@deekamikaze]

You don't think the second one could be a modified JT8D? Those were actually licensed out to be used on the supersonic Swedish Viggen. They were airliner engines strapped with an afterburner so they could have better fuel efficiency. To me that's super cool.

I want to see this happen alongside with that see the overture get upgraded in the future to handle faster velocities. But Mach 1.7 is a great start. The fact they are doing this privately is amazing its similar to how Space X and Blue Origin started out building rockets privately. The future of Aerospace is huge and I want to be a part of this industry even though I am almost in my 40s.

[@speedbirdconcorde4534]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@ghostrider-be9ek From this to a finalised aircraft in daily production with safety and efficiency…wont happen in my view. Rolls are not interested for many reasons. There is no market for the average Joe unlike Concorde which (for BA at least) benefited BA in so many ways. BA stopped because they had to: Airbus had imposed $100 million a year (after AF pulled out) just for having the maintenance infrastructure in place as Concorde was basically bespoke/handmade. What Concorde did to super-cruise at Mach2 for almost 3hrs was nothing short of miraculous. Even for today. What is their market? To fly supersonically over land ? Then the sonic boom issue needs solving. Fly Mach 2? If their speed is more like M1.3 overland, then the gains will be minimal. And then the cost per seat compared to regular commercial flights. And add to that…Concorde was primarily a business tool. That was her purpose. People built their business and planted their flags on either side of the Atlantic because of what Concorde afforded them at the time. Speed. Now that business case is no longer. New engine development and working in 10 years ??? Do they really know what is involved ??? As ghostrider said… LOL. Just dont see it happening…by 2029 or 2059.

​@@JesseJames-kv7xc exactly! You can have all systems redundant but in case of engine or structural failure the pilot is doomed. Maybe however, for a prototype with such thoroughly planned and closely monitored test flight campaign it's possibility can be reduced close to zero and then it is calculated that the money, time and effort to implement such system does not really worth it. I hope they know what they're doing. At least it looks like. :)

Not only does it help engineers with making sure things are safe, but it helps engineers understand where the money is coming from, but how business models evolve throughout a companies life. Hire an experienced engineer, and ask them to sift through all of the Coast Guards footage, have them chop it up, and make it digestible, and make your engineers watch it.

Because of the nimby New Yorkers who complained about the noise, the US supersonic project was cancelled (the remnants are in San Carlos Museum, I think). I think if Boeing (or whichever US company was working on the project) had got a viable plane flying then the nimbys would have been silenced - and maybe, over 40 years of innovation - the boom issue would have been solved, albeit iteratively.
