Why We Still Don't Have Another Concorde

  • The Concorde changed the way we traveled 40 years ago by drastically cutting flight times between Europe and the US. However, the Concorde retired in 2003, and there's yet to be a reemergence of a commercial supersonic jet. Companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Airbus are working towards the next stage of development by reducing the sonic boom, while also keeping in mind efficiency and safety. So, what's the super holdup with supersonic passenger planes?
    Editor's note: The aircraft shown at 2:16 is a representation of Boom's commercial aircraft, which will not be a private aircraft. At 5:03, the supersonic aircraft shown is a representation of Boom's Overture, not the XB-1 jet. We apologize for this error.

      You probably wouldn't believe that work started on the Avro Vulcan in the late 1940s , and that she first flew in the early 1950s , yet still looks futuristic , and was the replacement for the Avro lancaster . The De haviland Comet was the first jet airliner , and the VC-10 was the fastest across the Atlantic ( Concorde excepted ) for 41 years . Nothing beats British engineering .

      Total BS. What modifications? Why not centuries behind? Do you have any clue how every commercial industry works? It's all about economic efficiency. Concorde was just a costly toy. The airlines only kept them for advertising. There is no point in a jet like that until it's a private business jet for some billionaire who would fly over empty lands or oceans because of the sonic boom.

      Intel you know, it really shows your ignorance when you assume anyone in a comment section doesn't know what they're talking about compared to people who can draw pretty pictures.
      It's well known and documented (you can find many videos all over RUclips talking about it) that supersonic intake air needs to be compressed/slowed down before entering the engine in order to get any kind of efficiency. A good rule of thumb is that subsonic airflow doesn't compress without compressor blades even when forced into a smaller intake area (either the airflow speeds up, or excess flows around the sides), but supersonic airflow will readily compress even when it is not forced into a smaller area. Simply deflecting supersonic airflow will slow it down, forcing it to compress.
      This is how all supersonic aircraft feed their engines. It's actually responsible for ramjets producing thrust at supersonic speeds, but effectively none at subsonic speeds.
      Having a completely exposed engine intake shows an immediate and critical design flaw, and a lack of understanding of supersonic airflow on the part of the artists (or the engineers, if that really represents the design).

    In short, future SST's will likely limit their top speed to around Mach 1.6. Such a speed limit has a number of benefits:
    1. You don't need to run engines with a lot of reheat (afterburner) mode, which substantially cuts down on fuel consumption.
    2. It makes it easier to "shape" the plane to reduce the sonic boom to nearly inaudible levels.
    3. It means a lot less structural heating. That makes it a lot more viable to use many composite materials to lower the weight of the plane.
    4. It may make it possible to fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo non-stop at full Mach 1.6 speed. That means Los Angeles to Sydney can be accomplished with just one fuel stop in Honolulu, with supersonic flying most of the way.
    It should be noted that General Electric recently unveiled a new jet engine, the _Affinity_ , designed for such supersonic flight. It will be as quiet as today's high-bypass engines on takeoff and landing but its _supercruise_ ability means supersonic flying with very little need for reheat operation.

    • @RM-el3gw
      @RM-el3gw 3 года назад +3

      Interesting points, but it should be noted that wave drag is lower at higher Mach numbers, such as concorde's. Also, supercruise is not a new thing - concorde had supercruise as well. With a lesser advantage in speed than concorde, I wonder if all of that trouble will be worth the extra speed - after all, you can literally install satellite internet on planes nowadays, so you don't even have problems with being "disconnected" from the rest of the world, but all hurdles related to sonic boom restrictions and very high operating costs are still there.

      @CaptainChrom 3 года назад +3

      No it's Mach 0.8. and it's not about fuel efficiency, it's about the speed of sound. If planes fly faster than Mach 0.8, then the air going over the wing will cause a shockwave causing the wing to loose lift and the ailerons to loose control authority, which is referred to as an overspeed, or high speed stall.

    • @J7Handle
      @J7Handle 3 года назад

      Actually, there's reason to believe supersonic flight could be made more efficient than subsonic flight.
      Wave drag is a huge limitation created by supersonic flight, but can be reduced by increasing wing sweep angle and sharpening the nose. Boom Aerospace's design modifies Concorde's 55 degree wing sweep to 70 degrees, and has a noticeably sharper nose. Lockheed Martin's design goes even crazier with the idea. Of course, these measures increase weight, structural issues, heating issues, parasite drag and induced drag, so there's a trade-off, but there are gains to be made with wave drag (as a bonus, reducing wave drag also reduces the loudness of the sonic boom).
      Furthermore, if you can make engines that can produce the necessary thrust without needing afterburner, you can massively improve fuel efficiency.
      Lastly, the biggest area where supersonic flight beats subsonic flight is in altitude. The speed limit of subsonics caps out their altitude thanks to something called coffin corner, where the air gets too thin to maintain lift, and the aircraft stalls. By flying nearly 3 times faster, supersonics can massively increase their lift efficiency and thus, their cruising altitude. By increasing their cruise altitude, supersonics fly in thinner air. Thinner air means less drag, which means less fuel consumption, which means supersonics can easily beat subsonic fuel efficiency during cruise (in fact, I hear the Concorde accomplished this in its day. It's fuel inefficiency was caused by fuel guzzling during takeoff and landing).

    • @J7Handle
      @J7Handle 3 года назад

      @@CaptainChrom Supercruise is a well known capability. Afterburners aren't the holy grail of supersonic travel, they're just a thing that gives maybe 40% more thrust on average for something like 3 times the fuel consumption. The F-22 can supercruise at M1.6, but a dedicated supercruising airliner should be capable of Mach 2.
      As for using a turbofan, it seems like a bit of a strange idea to me, but the Tu-144 made use of afterburning turbofans, albeit with horrendous fuel efficiency.
      The only problem with turbofans for supersonic flight is that they create a larger intake area to thrust ratio, which has detrimental effects in terms of drag. However, a low bypass turbofan should still be able to power an airliner to supersonic speeds while massively reducing noise issues.
      I remember once thinking that turbofans can never work at supersonic speeds. The idea was that the fan blades operate at subsonic speeds, therefore after slowing down the intake air, the bypass from the engine would never exceed the speed of sound, thus, at supersonic speeds, the intake would always be faster than the bypassed exhaust, indicating negative thrust.
      This is not how it works, in case you were wondering. Yes, slowing down the supersonic intake air is necessary, and yes, the fan blades can never accelerate air past the speed of sound, but the fan still produces thrust.
      The reason is that as the supersonic intake is slowed down, it necessarily gets compressed to higher pressure according to the mach number. When you decompress the airflow after it bypasses the engine, it accelerates beyond it's initial intake velocity, thanks to the fan.
      It just requires proper intake and exhaust design to make a turbofan work.

AI has been shown to continually outsmart humans at chess, games like League of Legends, Go etc. It can predict your move, or the effects of its move before you even make it. Even basic autopilot can fix errors, for example a flight in 1978 I believe, where a plane crashed into a mountain after the pilots lost control, the pilots over controlled to get it back in control but unfortunately it ended up in the plane losing further control, eventually it was discovered that if the pilots did nothing and instead used AP the AP system would have been able to correct the flight and save lives. So many flight errors are from over control which is a human condition, the irrational thought that too low is bad so too high must be good, instead of only middle is good, AI has no emotions and no fear, so doesn't over control due to fear.

The fact of the matter is, no amount of technology can correctly guess atmospheric aerodynamic changes, human pilots can’t do it either, but our 6 senses allow pilots to fly aircraft better.
