Airbus announced the invention of supersonic passenger aircraft
Airbus has just been approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office an invention called "super-fast air vehicles and similar air transport methods" and according to the invention, Airbus is incubating Develop an airplane that can take you from New York City to London in just 1 hour.
Airbus' supersonic aircraft invention is approved
Basically, two Airbus inventors, Marco Prampolini and Yohann Coraboeuf, have completed a feasible plan to build passenger transport planes that can fly at 4.5 times the speed of sound. bar.
If Airbus' supersonic aircraft can actually achieve this speed, long-term international flights will be shortened to a few hours, such as from New York City to London in an hour, San Francisco took 3 hours to Paris or flew across the Pacific from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 3 hours. By comparison, the current flight from New York City to London usually lasts 7 to 8 hours for regular commercial passenger aircraft. Therefore, Airbus' project is promising to create a revolution in the aviation industry.
However, there are still many questions that need to be answered before the aircraft can be realized. One of the biggest concerns faced by Airbus supersonic aircraft is also a long-standing problem for the supersonic transport industry, how to deal with the effects of the supersonic explosion ( sonic boom). Such problems have happened in the past with the first supersonic planes. The Concorde, built in the 1970s, for example, could fly at Mach 2 and passengers on the plane were uncomfortable with the sound accompanied by vibrations when the plane broke the sound wall. Airbus said the aircraft's aerodynamic design has been specifically designed to limit these effects and significantly reduce noise from sound explosions once the aircraft has achieved many Mach speeds.
In terms of the aircraft's operation, the Airbus invention states that many different engines will be used simultaneously during the flight. When taking off, the aircraft will use two turbojet engines along with a rocket-propelled auxiliary propulsion. As the aircraft approaches the speed of sound, two turbojet engines will be turned off, leaving only a rocket engine to operate to elevate the journey to about 100,000 ft (30.48 km). Next, two ramjet engines on two wings will be activated and push the aircraft to the maximum speed of about Mach 4.5 (5512 km / h).
Because of Airbus' approval of the invention, it is only true that the aircraft can only carry about 20 passengers so the project has not been realized overnight. However, with the emergence of similar supersonic airplane projects, we can absolutely dream of a day of coffee in Saigon, go to the New York City eras at night.
