The Boom Overture is a proposed supersonic airliner under development by Boom Technology.Its design will be capable of traveling Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn; 1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph), with 64–80 passengers depending on configuration, and 4,250 nmi (7,870 km; 4,890 mi) of range.
In March 2016, Boom Technology revealed that it is in the development phases of building a 40-passenger supersonic jet capable of flying Mach 1.7, claiming that the design simulation shows that it will be quieter and 30% more efficient than the Concorde and will be able to fly Los Angeles to Sydney in 6 hours. It is planned to go into service ...
The Boeing 2707 was an American supersonic passenger airliner project during the 1960s. After winning a competition for a government-funded contract to build an American supersonic airliner, Boeing began development at its facilities in Seattle, Washington.
The first full-scale supersonic passenger jet is expected to perform its maiden flight in 2027, according to the South China Morning Post, who first reported the test flight.
Boom Supersonic comments on NASA’s new quieter supersonic flight. Plus, an update on Duke researcher Dan Ariely, job opening trends, and IBM sheds real estate. Open Source: Boom without the boom?
Developed at OKB-36 (P. A. Kolesov) and produced at the Rybinsk Motor-Building Plant, the RD-36-51A engine was developed for the Tu-144D supersonic passenger aircraft. A simplified version with a fixed nozzle for the high-altitude Myasishchev M-17 was designated RD-36-51B. The engine developed a thrust of 7,000 kgf (15,000 lbf; 69,000 N).
The Lockheed Martin X-59 Quesst ("Quiet SuperSonic Technology"), sometimes styled QueSST, is an American experimental supersonic aircraft under development by Skunk Works for NASA's Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator project. [2] Preliminary design started in February 2016, with the X-59 planned to begin flight testing in 2021.
The Boom Overture is a proposed Mach 1.7 (1,000 kn; 1,800 km/h; 1,100 mph), 65- to 88-passenger supersonic transport with a planned 4,250 nmi (7,870 km; 4,890 mi) of range. [20] With 500 viable routes, Boom suggests there could be a market for 1,000 supersonic airliners with business class fares. [7]
