Interestingly enough the current boarding process could be much faster and is actually potentially slower then just boarding the plane in a random order. However no airline uses the most efficient boarding method simply because people will never all listen and form a line in correct order (someone will board out of order massively slowing the process down). It would also mean that first class would board at the same time as business class defeating the point of the higher price ticket.

@kevinbush4300
@kevinbush4300 Жыл бұрын
That’s quite true… Concorde was losing a horrendous amount of money in the seventies and early eighties. I think there was no Concorde premium… tickets cost the same as First Class. So BA (and presumably Air France) polled her passengers as to how much their tickets cost. Most of them had no idea and guessed at a price that was far more than the actual cost of a ticket. So prices went up to match expectations and she became profitable.

One key element neatly left out is that aircraft can go to higher altitueds where air resistant is sufficiently low, yet dense enough to provide oxigen to the engines while significantly reducing air drag. This has been known for decades, but the resulting economies would be of such a scale that airlines would not be able to justify the already inflated prices.

The drag coefficient increases dramatically as you approach the speed of sound, then trails off as it passes Mach 1, but supersonic flight isn't viable for commercial flights because of a) sonic booms rattling homes and b) fuel costs needed to power the engines. So what airlines do is keep the speed at about Mach 0.85-0.9, just before the exponential drag increase kicks in.

Far too often when we all talk about scientific progress we make bold claims of technologies we'll have in 20-50 years...this progress is only achieved through millions of men and women dedicating their life labor to their science, and sometimes the progress is slow or non existent. Still waiting on those fusion reactors everyone said were right around the corner in 1995, I guess we'll just have to settle with micro improvements to cell phone cameras moving forward.
@levelfourteen
@levelfourteen 3 жыл бұрын
With fusion reactors we've actaully already achieved the ability to have nuclear fusion power. The problem actually is practicality since when we do it we end up in a net negative. So the challenge is creating a large enough net positive to outweigh it. The day we figure it out and can apply this on a large scale would change human history. Which ITER is trying to do.
@methylene5
@methylene5 3 жыл бұрын
@@levelfourteen I worked in the fusion nuclear research field for some years, and I can tell you no we don't have the means to utilise fusion power, nor anywhere even near it. ITER is an experimental test reactor, not a power station. We won't have fusion power in 20 years, and possibly not in 200 years. Fusion of deuterium and tritium at 110 million C in a brief burst, is not the same as yielding fusion power. Even if the power extracted can exceed the power needed to run the reactor, that's nothing compared to the other advances necessary to make fusion power viable.

What you are describing is parasitic drag, but the other factor is induced drag which increases as an aircraft slows down. Get too slow, and induced drag becomes so great that it takes massive amounts of power to keep the aircraft in the air even at very slow speeds.

I perfectly understand people's frustration with sonic booms and why planes were regulated to stop causing them. I grew up with my grandparents. They owned a farm near an airport. Farm was very close to it so you could see every plane landing and taking off. Quite commonly military jets were taking off from there as well for some reason. And Jesus Christ.... you could see the shockwave when they take off. The sound is extremely loud, all windows vibrate like crazy. Volume is like 1AM in a club. We didn't live on that farm, only were coming in to do farming. But if I'd live and sleep there I'd go crazy.

I grew up a few miles from the airport. There were entire communities moved because of the noise of the airport, and damaging homes. This was not even supersonic stuff. They moved neighborhoods, and changed flight paths, for general aviation, alone. They built a newer bigger runway for the new bigger planes, and tore down another few communities to achieve that. I'm going to leave out military planes, from this topic, because those are another level of loud. I hear the afterburners quite often. Growing up, I heard about lawsuits and legal problems from planes damaging homes. Over time, It seems they would rather buy out communities than to pay on lawsuits. Thankfully, they changed the routes above me, also. Strangely, another factor is that the city owns the airport, in the county land. You can only imagine what kind of dynamics that creates,. ( county neighborhoods suing city airport ) I grew up not from from cars, trains and planes, all times of the day, and they just become normal. At some point, you just don't really hear them anymore because your brain just blocks it out. There are times when you have to stop a conversation waiting on an airplane to pass. It just becomes background noise, and it is very rare to lose sleep over it. There is a golf course, near the airport. One of the attractive features is that you can hear, see, and feel a huge wave of swirling wake turbulence coming down the fairways. It is horrifying if you dont know what it actually is. The golf ball swirls, the trees shake, the noise is like demons coming from who knows where. Good times.. I actually recommend it.

Another problem with Concorde was they had to have certain requirements for runways as well as taking of and landing could not be done with aircrafts in a certain radius of the airport. It wasn't just the cost of the aircraft itself but also the runways and other complications it caused with other aircrafts making Concorde unsuitable for airports unless requirements were met. I grew up on the funny story of my dad learning to fly a light aircraft and that a Concorde aircraft was made to wait until he landed.

3:23 there is an error, the sweap does reduce the wingspan, but it really reduces the lift. Planes are normally designed (by my understanding) with a set wingspan (bc of airport restrictions mostly). Then the angle is given. Planes with a high angle are for high speed, subsequently lower angle wings are for lower speed and higher lift. That’s why most piston engines and small planes have either no swept wings or very low angle swept wings. Great video though.

Can we just appreciate the brilliance of Concorde. Designed and engineered without computers on drawing bords in the 70s, when anything still was thought possible. I hope we achieve a viable supersonic flight concept in the not so distant future even if it's still very expensive since there is not getting around the F_d ~ v^2 (drag force proportional to the velocity squared) not matter how much you change c_D (drag coeff.) and A (reference area)...

We haven’t been to the moon since the 1970s ! If someone asked me how far in space man has traveled and what we have done, I would have been sure we would have colonies on the moon and Mars by now. If someone told me back in the 70s in 2021, we had not been to the moon in over 40 years, I would have assumed there was a nuclear war that destroyed most of civilization.

You seem to have forgotten to mention the fact that the aerodynamic drag induced on a moving object increases with the cube of the object's velocity. Which is one of the main reasons why faster travel times require more fuel, thus driving up the costs.

Probably why they are already training passengers to carry their power banks in hand baggage - so pilots can plug the plane into them in an emergency.

When the Concorde was introduced, there were no laptops, iPads, or in-flight internet. For the business traveler, the time in the air was 100% wasted time. So cutting the travel time in half was a huge advantage. Nowadays, that 6 hours in the air can be productive time with the availability of a laptop and the internet. So the demand for supersonic flights is much lower than it was in the 70s. This will likely make any future supersonic travel nothing more than a novelty for the extremely rich.

I think the demand for faster flights is low, because most of the public thinks they are already taking the fastest route. Outside of the concord which was known for the rich, the average person probably thinks their commercial flight is already flying at top speed or close to it…….I definitely did, I just learned a lot from this video.
