Boom Superson's XB-1 broke the sound barrier on January 28. Prosperous supersonic speed Hidden subtitles
A private company aimed at building the first supersonic passenger aircraft. Since retiring more than 20 years ago, this is a supersonic machine. It carried out the first Mohawa in California on Tuesday in Mohawa in California on Tuesday. The impact sound on the desert.
The XB-1 demonstrator aircraft headquarters Boom Supersonic in Denver, chief testing pilot Tristan "Geppeto" Brandenburg hit 1.122 Mach 1.122 or 750 MPH on the controller, about 35,000 feet in height. The aircraft successfully landed at the end of the 34 -minute flight.
The founder and CEO Blake Scholl described the flight as "phenomenon".
Scholl said: "We are ready to expand the scale. We are ready to build a passenger supersonic jet aircraft. The jet jet aircraft will be taken over at the place where Concorde leaves and will eventually allow other people to drive the supersonic speed."
The 12th test flight of XB-1 reached Mach Milestone. The company said it plans to include what it learned from XB-1 into a supersonic passenger jet aircraft called a prelude, which can carry up to 80 passengers. The aim of new passenger planes aims to maintain a cruise speed of 1.7, or about twice the current commercial jet passenger aircraft.
According to BOOM, United, the United States and Japanese airlines have expressed their interest in buying preparation. In a statement sent to NPR sent by the Email to NPR, United Airlines said that in 2021, the company "reached a conditional, unreasonable purchase agreement", you can buy 15 passenger planes, and with "up to up to an extra additional extravagant can The choice of 35 aircraft. "
BOOM said that commercial flights are expected to be ready by 2030. It is expected that the aircraft can fly on the height of up to 60,000 feet, which is much higher than that of traditional jet airlines. "It is high enough, you can see the below," according to the company. It said: "Flying speed at supersonic speed is often smoother, because at 60,000 feet, your turbulence exceeds most turbulence."
Unlike the collaborators proved to be under financial, BOOM said that airlines should be able to sell profits on the fare similar to the first and similar business class seats on the current commercial passenger aircraft.
Scholl said: "The biggest problem of Concorde is that it is too expensive." "Therefore, the most important problem to solve is not to break sound obstacles, but to break economic obstacles."
In 1976, the Union faction flew from London to Washington for the first time. It was jointly developed by the United Kingdom and France and has been operating with France and British Airlines for nearly thirty years.
However, jets were criticized for their low efficiency. Compared with Boeing 747, the fuel amount of triangular wing coordinator is four times the fuel, and only one-fifth of passengers-about 100 times. The aircraft is also a complaint about its loud turbine jet engine and noise.
Scholl said that Concorde's military engine is very large, but the prelude will be "sharp and quiet, which means that around the airport, the prelude will loud more than the Asian -speed aircraft flying today."
In 1996, Concord's speed was recorded only 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds between New York and London. In 2000, shortly after the departure of Charles Dahler Airport in Paris, a collision accident occurred, and the airport killed all 100 passengers and 9 French Airlines flight 4590 crew members. The supersonic aircraft was rooted, but the service was finally restored. Xiehe is always an unemployed and eventually retired in 2003.
