Happy to see the future coming back!
The first time I heard a sonic boom and saw a jet flying faster than its own sound, I instantly fell in love!!
Strange fetish.
It's a lie.
They are digging passenger grave.
The pilot can not see the front
@@trendingviews4086 I guess you have never seen a plane fly in moonless night or in super dense fog or through clouds, even though planes have front windows all pilots get trained to fly only using instruments
I remember as a kid back in the 1960s sonic booms were so loud and rattled the windows so bad, we would check them to see if they were broken.
Amazing feat of technology. But what if the screen goes out? No mention of a backup.
Jugglers can juggle balls without seeing them.
planes fly in 0 visibility all the time
Travel across the country in half the time previously, but for 10x more cost! These tickets will not be cheap in the civilian market.
Yes like everything else, we probably had this plane for years but only now finding out about it because we might be close to checking off all the boxes for commercial use. Just like with most of the tech we use today, it was already made for the military or nasa, computer, gps, cell phones, etc., when they hit the shelves, they were expensive, but significantly dropped as more and more companies got in on it.
Business class is quite popular eventhough its 3x more cost than economy. I can see supersonic being sustainable if cost is 4x economy flight ticket.
Obviously. It wasn’t made for normal low/middle class people 😂
No matter how fast planes are, airports will always stay slow. This is why high speed rails are better for fast inner country transport.
They don't want to hear it.
Having grown up on overseas air force bases during the cold war, the 'sonic boom' was part of my childhood.
The boom is great.
I use to hear theses sonic booms when is was young.
Get ready to break the Sound barrier
They forgot Boom Technology, a super sonic airframe maker, literally exists and has a protype built, with order from airlines.
The problem is Boom jets will have the same route limitations as the Concorde because they create normal shock waves. So Boom aircraft will only be able to fly Mach 1 or faster over water. The X-59 will hopefully lead to development of future supersonic airframes that don't create sonic booms, opening up overland routes.
Like he didn't even listened @@GabeRamirez15
Used to have one, it was called the concord
i see the point of the video flew right over your head
There's a company building a center in my city right now to basically reinvent the Concorde
That doesn't look anything like a commercial aircraft. Looks like a 1 seater to me
It is a one seater but the hope is it will lead to new passenger aircraft designs if successful.
@GabeRamirez15 I mean, in 50 years, the best they can do is a 1 seater? 50 years of technology and that's where they're starting?
So the problem is so complex that it wasn’t until current computing power was available, that they could conceive a design they think will work.
@GabeRamirez15 So only good for terminator drones. Makes sense.
I think it would have to be a private jet, maybe 12 people? It would be crazy expensive for a commercial jetliner, I don't see a good business case for it.
I am surprised nothing was said about "if" it is worse for the environment.
It won’t be.
Billions of people flying around the world is totally fine. This message brought to you by deadly pathogens.
Or they can make wider airplane seats for the same price so people can relax on slow planes.
One of the reasons the Concord was retired was ergonomics. Supersonic aircraft have design constraints requiring cabins to be narrow, which are commercially impractical. This design is even more extreme, making it unsuitable for commercial use. Imagine a Dreamliner where the nose had to be one third of the planes length. What major airport could accommodate such a design? The technology is great and may have other applications, but please stop suggesting new advancements high speed aircraft will enable commercial supersonic flight.
better off wasting millions of a human transporter than the continued OLD tech of flying!!!!
They are digging passengers grave.
The pilot can no see anything. They depend on NASA.
Remember hearing one at an air show back in the 2000s. Back then they even teased the b2 bomber. But they flew it super duper high.
Concorde was not the only supersonic jet at the time. Both US (Boeing 2707) and USSR (Tu-144) had their own designs, however neither was able to compete with the European model.
Yes the small Drum 🥁 like sound is tolerable once in a while but imagine thousands of those all day everyday !
Maybe they can learn how to time them perfectly to make a beat
Choppers and current comercial planes make way more annoying sounds that last for a good few seconds
The physics they used to build this has many similarities to uap
Yay, saving 30 minutes for triple the fuel and 5 times the price.
More like an hour to hour and a half.
@@easyenetwork2023 Right, I stand corrected. Plus probably only 2x the price but 5x the fuel.
@@Habib_Osman Your are correct that a lot of drag and thus fuel consumption is generally associated with flying supersonic in conventional ways. Trans sonic drag seemed insurmountable at first.Hence we still talk about the sound barrier when we refer to the speed of sound. While the X59's reduction of sound gets the majority of the attention, along with that revolutionary project's noise reduction comes tremendous drag reduction as well, compared to traditional supersonic flight. I know that a similar project by the commercial Boom company aims for a phenomenal drag reduction of 75%, which will directly translate in similar fuel efficiency improvements. Perhaps their on to something revolutionary, which could give commercial supersonic flight a second chance.
Tickets should only cost $15000, Sweet!
As a pilot 🛬, I would love to see this in flight.
I just saw the X-15 and it's still beautiful....
Yes, but will the doors stay on during flight??
Assuming they aren't built by Boeing.
"have more than you show, speak less than you know"
- Shakespeare
"Us" it won't be for most of "Us". Accessible does not mean affordable.
Actually… it depends? If reduces the amount of time a plane is in the air significantly and fuel costs aren’t too high per person, it could actually be affordable just by virtue of the fact that might be able to sell 1.3x - 1.7x the number of tickets per 24 hours.
That is to say, if a Boeing 737 can only do NYC-LA 2x per day each way (for a total of 4 flights), if this plane is able to carry the same number of passengers 3x a day (6 flights) the airline would likely sell both the 737 and the new plane tickets at the same price.
They wouldn’t let the new plane be cheaper at first because they know that people would want to take it so they wouldn’t have to.
Oh yeah, and the fact that it would be able to fly over land means that both purchase and operating costs would be lower because it wouldn’t be a bespoke niche product.
TL;DR: If it works as advertised and can carry a comparable number of passengers as our current main aircrafts, it would probably be as affordable as any other type of commercial air travel.
I don't think the boom was that disruptive. I used to hear them all the time from the space shuttle coming in to land at Cape Canaveral.
That is bad news as you live in Seatle.
When I was a kid I remember military jets rattling and even blowing windows out of their frames as the broke the sound barrier over my grandparents farm. It still happens a few times a year, but no where near as much as it used to.
Technology improved so much and building materials for windows got better I assume.
What effect will it have on the atmosphere? Same a regular jets? Less? More?
More or less fuel per passenger mile?
Way more. It's not more aerodynamic, in fact, slightly less. Only way this is ever viable with net zero policy is with extremely cheap renewables and non existent cheap synthetic fuels.
Does it matter at all?
@@eliasl332 yes it does. Cos there were already supersonic aircrafts in later 1960x and they gone for a reason
@@delta_glider4362 that reason wasn’t environmental but economical.
If thats what flew over earlier it was the loudest sonic boom I've ever heard 😅
It hasn’t had its first flight yet
✈🤯 Buckle up for the future of travel! This crazy-looking plane promises to revolutionize cross-country journeys, cutting travel time in half. Fasten your seatbelts, the future is here! 🚀🌎
This is what the NFL has been dreaming of. As soon as this is ready, they will have an entirely new division of teams in Europe.
Hopefully football will be banned by then.
that is still way to much sound pollution for a mass production product, imagine 100 thousands of them all around the world..
If breaking the sound barrier were like diving into water, you want to do a clean, smooth dive with minimal splash as opposed to a cannon ball.
The U.S. Navy is working on a submarine that will be able to travel at the speed of sound....the idea is to somehow encase it in a "bubble"....
Recent article....available online.
@@alfredgeorge317 >will be able to travel at the speed of sound
speed of sound in air or speed of sound in water since it's a submaine? it's kind of 5 time difference 😆
>the idea is
the same as in old Russian's 1977 "Shkval" torpedo
PS and if for these torpedos their sound is irrelevant since target will be dead before been able to evide for submarine silence is a key for survival.
@@delta_glider4362 speed of sound in water...
I read an article in "Marine Insight"...
Not sure when they'll have the actual design, but they're working on it now with Penn State.
@@delta_glider4362 My comments keep deleting for some reason...
The article is in "Marine Insight"...
As a kid in the Boston suburbs in the early 1960s sonic booms were somewhat common but it still didn't get you used to the sound of that BOOM (blast). I'd be sitting in school, an old Catholic School built in the early 1900s. It had very tall windows with many panes of glass. When a boom went off everyone practically shid their pants and your heart would be pounding out of your chest,...many of the girls would scream in terror, all the window panes rattled and some would actually break.
Yeah but what would the pay load looks like though because a lot of passenger airlines makes more money off cargo which includes a lot more weight.
Other than being a toy/collectable for a couple of One-Percenters I really don't see any new design going into production.
When sophisticated weapons that lose wars are more important than travel.
a lot of our familiar tech originated from military advancements at one point or another just like the jet engine, and M&M's candy.
Wtf are you babbling about???
@@rogerthat4545 He's not babbling at all. You could make a basic inference and see exactly what he's talking about. Lockheed Martin is a defense contractor, so this will undoubtedly be used in combat. When the US has supersonic jets that are bombing targets below without making any noise, it would be much harder for the enemy down below to know that they're coming and to try to shoot them down, that's the whole reason Lockheed Martin put so much time and money and engineers on this project, to bomb without as much risk of being shot down.
@JohnSmith-hr7fl our "sophisticated weapons" never lost a war, especially when you consider we haven't lost a fight.
It's our politicians that lose the wars.
@@rogerthat4545you guys lost against Vietnam and Afghanistan
Basic physics says this will never happen. When you 2x speed, you need 4x energy, i.e. jet fuel. Plus the scale economies are horrible. A wide body 777 carries ~ 300 people, but narrow SST will carry
maybe they can fly higher so the air resistance is lower
The smaller aircraft may help reduce carbon emissions.
@@owendebest4183Plus faster so might not be that inefficient if the plane has far less drag.
If you Google it Concorde used roughly 4 times the fuel per passenger on the same distance compared to a 747-400 of the era. 7 times compared to a modern 787.
But if you go really fast, time will stand still so you aren't using any fuel at all...
They stepped over the fact that a supersonic jet is not stable at low speed and on loosing 1 engine could roll over and nose dive into a hotel.
Doubt whether it will work with 200 plus on board.
I'm sure the guys at nasa forgot to think about that...
Thank you for spending the time to create and share this content awareness
Disappointed there was no mention of "Quests'" estimated fuel consumption.
The point is just to figure out how to deal with sonic boom. Fuel consumption is a different set of problem.
I fear that silenced a supersonic airplane goes contrary to efficiency and supersonic flight is already a waste of fuel.
And i got very skeptical when i heard "moving the engine up to reduce noise", pretty sure that the engine location has nothing to do with the sonic boom.
@vincentvoillot6365 idk. Engine technology has came a long way since the concord. We can produce engine with so high in thrust to weight ratio that it can push a plane into supersonic without afterburner (aka supercruise). We'll see how it goes.
@vincentvoillot6365 since sonic boom is due to air coalescing on airframe, I'm guessing placing the engine above the fueslage would help dampening the shockwaves caused by the engine intake
@@Apollo-tj1vm You are correct, the air displaced by a moving surface coalesce and create a sonic boom. But air don't coalesce on an air intake (or something is very wrong), air is even slow down and compressed before being feed in the combustion chamber. For the casing of the engine, that's why it is generally in the tail (fighter jet) or being an intake.
Beside, if they want to go commercial and need more than two engines, they will have to place them on the wings.
Not the plane but the technology.
This will be great...if you're a millionaire, i can almost guarantee the rest of us will still be in slow and steady cattle class.
Yea and some day people on planes like this video shows will say they are slow too. I swear no matter what we accomplish nobody will ever be happy and just demand more. Faster must go faster 3000mph is just too slow like a cow 🤦♂️. You are lucky to have jet airlines most of the humans who have already lived didn't even get to ride a horse. You are lucky and clearly too stupid to understand that.
More video style documentaries like this!
this is technically impressive, but stupid policy. we should make high speed rail with ovenight sleeper cars. Save on hotel, reduce carbon, and get to your destination well rested.
We means you and a keyboard??
High speed rail is stupid policy. I know your idols in China love trains, but that doesn't make it the best option for America
The problem with that is infrastructure. We already have the airports to support destinations and departures, but building high speed rail requires construction (and maintenance) for every mile of travel for any given destination and departure. That's going to cost more money, it's probably going to require remapping of routes even if you try to use existing railways because high speed rail won't be able to turn as sharply (meaning negotiating new property usage and working around other existing infrastructure).
railway lines cause mass extinction of animals in north america already
Correct. To be even more altruistic id say we should have both.
Well done hydra
How many people can it hold ? Where can we find tickets ??
Tickets are only for the rich, development of the aircraft is payed for by the poor. As with Concorde.
@@andyhelliwell4955I was being sarcastic XD
This is still considered old tech they are using the Japanese duck design to stop the noise of the shock waves.. ama stop talking because am dum. Lol
In the 70s we have the Concorde it’s 2024 and we still haven’t figured out a replacement solution
Time to get your pen and paper handy --those sitting in the back of the plane next to the toilets, you're gonna start hearing those conversations from the first class business section at the front of the plane.
So where exactly are the passengers located?
In the future! 😅
You don't need supersonic planes in the U.S. - high speed rail would be an alternative to commercial planes.
High speed rail that travels at over twice the speed of sound? no... Not even hyperloop comes close to those speeds.
To say the Concorde was 'not good business' shows a lack of research. - Concorde was quite profitable, and doing well before it collected a piece of someone else's aircraft off the runway. - It stopped flying because the French refused to pay their share of the debt involved in Concorde's original startup costs. - The British had already paid out their share. Poor research.
What happened with the one Boeing was developing?
Curious mascot - a skunk!
I love to travel in a much relax environment where I can work on my laptop and not to worry about saving some time.
skunk works makes good shit but remember there is 10000 flights per day and each of those booms?
Uh, it won't be "us" flying across the country in 1/2 the time since "never" is my flight time now and I'm near dead. Son-in-law might do.
Question: What's the rush? I mean, is it really an imperative to fly that fast? It's technically interesting, but I don't understand the imperative to develop such a aircraft. There's environmental pollution potential to this as well (unless there is some sort of ingredient in the fuel that nullifies that). But I just don't get the perceived need to fly that fast i guess. What is the hurry? I'm curious.
Yes, if we can get across the country in an hour and a half, imagine how much more business gets done in a day?
You cannot because you're not socially in a particular class which demands you and your staff time schedule be updated. For many a plane as this is not a luxury but a travelling necessity.🕊️🦜
Or maybe it might have military applications
Why do some UA-cam videos need 2 to 3 times higher volume to hear? I feel like a DJ constantly adjusting volume on every video.
How about they focus on the regular planes not crashing before tripling the speed it can travel 😅
In the video you say that the only supersonic aircraft in history was Cancord. But this is a lie. He wasn't the only one!
Why don’t you talk about the supersonic civil aircraft from the USSR Tu-144. It was larger than the Concorde, flew farther and carried more people.
Why didn't you tell me about this plane?
Finally, an entire news report that has zero political indoctrination! Well done.
I'm waiting for one of these companies to release their anti-gravity tech, but we might have to wait a while.
If I was a billionaire I would do this every day. 👍 now get out there!
Narrator forgot about the Tu-144. Not the safest or best, but it did do supersonic.
They didn't forget, the narrator is just British and willingly lied.
I always figured the future was low earth orbit fly up orbit and re-entry.
"Us"? more like the richest 0.1%
Great innovation indeed!!
Yes, this gives the extremely rich stability to travel extremely fast as well as pollute extremely fast and as much as I want isn’t it wonderful not
No tech has ever remained solely in the hands of the extremely rich.
And if the camera fails?
It’s new version of the starfighter
goals
After American bought Concorde they cream their supersonic. It’s just wonderful 😂
Awesome!
If Bowing had built Concord there would never have been a ban. AMERICA...
FJB,FCNN
Yeah, because these smooth and long lines definitely mean high passenger count...
….and like the Concorde, its fuel consumption rate will not make it cost effective for passenger service.
Still amaze me, in a world of computers and AI, we are still trying to surpass a fifty years old aircraft designed using slide rules.
It's physics that's the issue here.
@@rogerthat4545 Quest CEO : "French were able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!"
Quest scientist "I'm sorry Sir, but we are not french"
@@vincentvoillot6365 and it was too loud.
As long as it's not built by Boeing
Not a plane. It's a "special aerial operation."
Great Design … I think it looks awesome …love it …👍
There was another concern about a sky full of big supersonic passenger jets. Flying up to 60,000 ft, the supersonic jets release high volumes of other pollutants such as nitrous oxide at higher elevations, where they do more harm to the climate and to atmospheric ozone than conventional jets.
Anyone remember the “Montreal Accords?” and the Freon (Chlorofluorocarbons ) problem ?
If the ozone layer is damaged …. it’s bad. Really bad.
Make a big one really big one bet it'll still be a loud sonic boom
God bless USA 🇺🇸
😂😂😂
I wish I could pilot this
I've been inside Concorde at Duxford. - The nose section is nowhere near one third the length of the aircraft, and the cabin cross section is similar in size to the Fokker F50 turbo prop. Concorde was profitable for many reasons - including the fact that it's passengers didn't suffer from jetlag, and could attend sales/board meetings immediately on arrival. It sounds like you've never been near Concorde.
And you do know that their will be camera failures! And a lot of crashes. And if you say but there is on board computer. That won't really help.
NASA has only lost 6 test planes in almost 80 years of experimentation lol. there won't be "a lot of crashes". American pilots are better than the Ghost of Kiev
@@sergeant_salty Well I don't care how good you think they are. But if you cannot see where you are going they bye bye.
@@Airbrushkid Cameras are cheap and they will have a lot of them along with other sensors. Out of all the complexity in planes, making sure the cameras work is the easiest thing.
@@someguy8944 As everything in this world fails. Those cameras in mid flight may as well fail. And I do not see someone trying to get to it in flight to fix it!!!
@@someguy8944 >Cameras are cheap
it's your shitty web camera is cheap. Go ask them how much for their camera. 😆
And you can't place a "lots of them" there. And more you place the more problem you will have.
And in the end there is always will be then game "Guess with your life wich one is the real one" 😂
How many people really need to get anywhere that fast?
Batman
People who don't want to sit in an enclosed metal tube for hours.
So cool
Looks like a modern F-104
Fantastic 🎉
The goal shouldn't be to fly faster, but "emission free" 🤦🏻♂️
Where am I supposed to sit?
I'd rather see a bird than a plane
Former Boeing.... there is NO market for commercial supersonic aircraft - full stop. No one will pay for the luxury. Tickets might be as high as $10,000 or more.
Wow, I saw half and thought half an hour. Half the time, let down.
What is with the strong British accent? I thought this was a American news station?
