If anyone is wondering what a seat would cost, it was upwards of $5,000 a seat (sometimes more) from JFK to Heathrow back in the 90's. It would undoubtedly be triple that now, at least.
I guess it depends how big and efficient the planes are. Concord was in development long before CAD (computer aided design) was possible and when it was possible it wasn't great. So it might now be possible to use CAD simulations to drastically increase the size of these planes and also reduce their fuel consumption, which would bring down running costs and their ticket price. Making them accessible for everyone, which would also bring down the ticket price. We also don't really know what will be possible in the future, with batteries and alternative fuels. At the moment we are stuck using a limited resource, that's controlled by a minority of people, for jet fuel. But maybe in the future our battery technology will be light enough to allow for cheap renewable energy to power our planes at the same speeds as jets. Or for an alternative renewable fuel source to be a more efficient source of energy for jets. Basically all renewables will become cheaper over time as more and more people use and produce them. While fossil fuels will only become more and more expensive over time as they are harder to get - we are already seeing this in the US and UK who are turning to fracking as a way to try and get more oil out of the ground. Eventually other countries will have to do the same and those will eventually be used up too. So our best bet is to stop using them and put all our efforts into creating massive renewable energy infrastructure so we will have cheaper energy in the future for air travel, before we run out of fossil fuels.
@@idontwanttopickoneCan you imagine? Battery powered concords made of lighter material and covered by solar panels? In an ideal world, just based on technology in development now, all that is actually possible. Through economies of scale, it might even become affordable or even cost effective as compared to current gas powered Boeings. Who knows, maybe flights might even become so quick and cheap, it’s no longer a luxury for the common folks and tourism skyrockets as a result.
@@comedyshortsincIt’s not even remotely possible now. Current battery technology has nowhere near the energy density of petroleum and the weight requirements of aircraft make them even less viable than cars, which are already a scam.
@@comedyshortsincwhat are you smoking? Guessing your opinion has zero bearing to basic understanding of physics….. first things first…… there isn’t any way and won’t ever be a way to create the same level of thrust from a combustion jet engine from any electric motor. You can only power a propeller via electric motor and the size of the plane won’t ever be near the smallest commercial planes out of Boeing or airbus which is the 737 and A320. ALSO, for an airplane weight matters more than anything else. Do you understand how much heavier EV cars are and how much faster their lithium batteries get drained under full throttle? lol When turbofan jet equipped planes takeoff it has the ability for 110% power at max if the plane is at maximum fuel weight and occupancy. The most an electric motor plane can handle is a 2-4 seater plane and its range with our current battery technology won’t ever get you across either side of pacific or Atlantic Ocean. Even if it does land to “refuel” or better to say “recharge” it’ll take A LOT longer than a tanker full of gas pulling up to fill the fuel-tanks in the wings lol. I also mentioned the location of the fuel-tanks as a reminder to electric motor planes having to put the battery cells in the airframe meaning if something goes south you’re going to lose both engine rather than one like our conventional aircraft’s. This is why this entire EV movement for cars is oxymoron. Airplanes produce significantly more greenhouse gases than modern cars and they will never EVER have the option of going full electric. I can definitely see hybridized variants in the future, but it’s just simply newtons 3rd law that doesn’t allow for the required thrust necessary.

Something I miss as a kid is the sonic booms.. they would happen every couple months lol just a big boom that would rattle your dishes and your house lol. I used to love that.. would scare the crap out of my mom, but I thought it was awesome.. I was standing by my house one day and heard what sounded like static getting closer.. then a fighter jet screeched over my house.

I heard the reason commercial airplanes didn't go faster is because of the incredible dip in fuel efficiency it takes to go supersonic. It kinda sounds like billionaire's private jets will go supersonic now, not people's commercial flights.
@@limbeboy7 correct. Their specific efficiency peak is in supersonic, meaning these engines operate more efficient in supersonic than subsonic. Their (absolute) efficiency however is way worse than any large bypass subsonic engine, because thermodynamics.
They're already testing. I live quite close to Lockheed. Been hearing people "slam a car door across the street" at night regularly for a several weeks.
I thought the primary reason we didn't have super sonic airline flights anymore was because it wasn't very economically viable anymore. With communication across the world being so cheap, accessible, and robust there are far fewer reasons for people to be traveling long distances at high speeds. That doesn't mean we won't see small-scale use of this in provate or corporate aviation, but I'd love to hear why I'd be wrong. Super sonic commercial aviation is dope.
No, it was prematurely retired because of legislation banning supersonic flight over land. If allowed to continue, it would have developed and become more affordable and profitable over time
My first big job at 19 some 25 years ago was being in charge of the security team at L3 communications which engineered allot of the mother boards for Boeing and Lockheed Martin, I got to see allot of neat test model aircraft the size of cars. Like the coolest toys for adults only worth millions. I’ts cool to see aircraft come to life after 20 years inside a warehouse.
The fuel costs of the Concorde (the commercial supersonic passenger jet) were a significant portion of a ticket's cost, because flying supersonic induces significsntly more drag than flying slightly subsonic, meaning supersonic jets have to thrust harder to maintain it, and therefore burn significantly more fuel flying. It would be amazing to lift a ban on supersonic aircraft though!
I wonder what this does for the lift and efficiency of the aircraft. More pressure above than below could mean negative lift at supersonic speeds, right?
This was literally my exact thought. Part of what allowed the XB70 to be so efficient when supersonic was to "ride the wave", literally using the pressure wave of the shock come under the lifting body/wing to generate lift. If all that energy (and resulting pressure) is being directed upward, I have to imagine that the aircraft will have to compensate with a higher lift angle and resulting drag.
Woah, I'm sure that the engineers have literally never considered this basic principle. After designing, simulation, and wind tunnel testing, they may have never thought about this principle? While the Valkerie rode its own shockwave and the high pressure zone is a component of lift, the subsonic airflow underneath the lifting surfaces does not imply that it produces negative lift. These are solvable problems and this is a novel and potentially potentially practical solution to the sonic boom problem. Unfortunately the efficacy of the project may still be in jeopardy, as going supersonic is simply very costly and there's absolutely no way around it.
The best part about those new supersonic aircraft is that they could be fully fuelled by combusting hydrogen and possibly be just as efficient as commercial jets because of them being able to carry more passengers overall over a long period of time with shorter flight times! :)
I know a former pilot that could’ve flown concord and has talked about wishing to see supersonic airliners so I hope within a few years his dream could be achieved
People forget why the concorde stopped flying. It wasn't because of the sonic booms or that accident that happened in France. It was cost of operation and comfort.
The fundamental issue with supersonic passenger flight is that it is massively cost ineffective because of drag. While the ground might not hear the sonic boom, it still is happening, and the plane is still experiencing massive amounts of drag

We used to hear huge ones in Lakeland fl when the Shuttle would re-enter. My aunt who lived 15 miles away didn't have this happen, but where we lived it happened every time. We were closer to the west coast of Fl, but you could still see every launch. It was awesome.
I remember in the 70s sonic booms where something that I would here weekly.
Shoot we still had them in the 80s
And maybe the early 90s

Thanks Skunk works
We going inverted with this one 💨💥💨
I heard the reason commercial airplanes didn't go faster is because of the incredible dip in fuel efficiency it takes to go supersonic. It kinda sounds like billionaire's private jets will go supersonic now, not people's commercial flights.
Some supersonic engines are actually more efficient at supersonic speeds than subsonic. Look up ram jet engines
@@limbeboy7 correct. Their specific efficiency peak is in supersonic, meaning these engines operate more efficient in supersonic than subsonic. Their (absolute) efficiency however is way worse than any large bypass subsonic engine, because thermodynamics.
They're already testing.
I live quite close to Lockheed. Been hearing people "slam a car door across the street" at night regularly for a several weeks.
I thought the primary reason we didn't have super sonic airline flights anymore was because it wasn't very economically viable anymore. With communication across the world being so cheap, accessible, and robust there are far fewer reasons for people to be traveling long distances at high speeds. That doesn't mean we won't see small-scale use of this in provate or corporate aviation, but I'd love to hear why I'd be wrong. Super sonic commercial aviation is dope.
No, it was prematurely retired because of legislation banning supersonic flight over land. If allowed to continue, it would have developed and become more affordable and profitable over time
The reason why the Concorde was inefficient was because it can only go supersonic above the atlantic, not for the entirety of it's cruise time.
Private supersonic jet would be crazy 💀
there’s already private supersonic jets, just military ones you can buy
My first big job at 19 some 25 years ago was being in charge of the security team at L3 communications which engineered allot of the mother boards for Boeing and Lockheed Martin, I got to see allot of neat test model aircraft the size of cars. Like the coolest toys for adults only worth millions. I’ts cool to see aircraft come to life after 20 years inside a warehouse.
Waiting for development in the airline industry is like waiting on a space elevator. It's always right around the corner
Translation: "Similar to the sound of a car door being slammed _inside your head."_
I am from Albuquerque NM, as a child we used to hear sonic booms all the time. They stopped happening in my teens but all of us remember them.
The fuel costs of the Concorde (the commercial supersonic passenger jet) were a significant portion of a ticket's cost, because flying supersonic induces significsntly more drag than flying slightly subsonic, meaning supersonic jets have to thrust harder to maintain it, and therefore burn significantly more fuel flying. It would be amazing to lift a ban on supersonic aircraft though!
corection: drag coefficient PLUMMETS,between slightly subsonic to supersonic.
Can't imagine trying to coordinate hundreds of planes that are FASTER THAN SOUND.
i mean you probaly could say the same about jet planes back in the 1900's when props were the standard
Yeah, because normally they are coordinated by screaming from the tower and pilots scream back from the planes. 👍👍👍
@@SirPano85 No but they're twice as slow normally. Now what, extend the safety corridors to freaking 50km diameter around each plane?
@@danser_theplayer01 what about a military airbase in full activity?
@@SirPano85 It's not as common as a civilian airport with giant planes.
Whoa that’s actually BIG!!! That would be another huge step towards the future
Concord now : Am I a joke to you ? 😂😂😂
Concord was loud and not very fuel efficient
I wonder what this does for the lift and efficiency of the aircraft. More pressure above than below could mean negative lift at supersonic speeds, right?
This was literally my exact thought. Part of what allowed the XB70 to be so efficient when supersonic was to "ride the wave", literally using the pressure wave of the shock come under the lifting body/wing to generate lift. If all that energy (and resulting pressure) is being directed upward, I have to imagine that the aircraft will have to compensate with a higher lift angle and resulting drag.
Literally my fiancée and I just talked about how it would create more problems than solve… I.e drag, inefficiency, ect
They don't have a choice. Supersonic commercial aircraft are banned right now. This HAS to be quiet to convince congress to allow them again.
Woah, I'm sure that the engineers have literally never considered this basic principle. After designing, simulation, and wind tunnel testing, they may have never thought about this principle?
While the Valkerie rode its own shockwave and the high pressure zone is a component of lift, the subsonic airflow underneath the lifting surfaces does not imply that it produces negative lift. These are solvable problems and this is a novel and potentially potentially practical solution to the sonic boom problem.
Unfortunately the efficacy of the project may still be in jeopardy, as going supersonic is simply very costly and there's absolutely no way around it.
Depends which airlines are building them because a couple haven't been doing too well in that department lately.

I don’t need to get to my destination faster, I NEED to get there safely.
So how many Concorde flights were there? And how many of them crashed? Going by the numbers Concorde was probably the safest ever airplane...
Tower: "You are cleared to land on runway 7."
Plane: "READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!"

I fly from Hawaii to Boston every year… if they could make that a 4hr flight for $3000 I’d be buyer. But I’ve got a feeling they will want more

They'll never beat fiber, stay home log on and chill out
The best part about those new supersonic aircraft is that they could be fully fuelled by combusting hydrogen and possibly be just as efficient as commercial jets because of them being able to carry more passengers overall over a long period of time with shorter flight times! :)
Seeing it in person is a sight. That nose cone is HuUUUUGE😮
Sonic booms never was a huge problem and never was particularly loud. The ban was imposed just to remove Concorde from the US market.
“That will get us to our destinations faster than ever before”

“I need to be in Paris by lunch” “say less”
About damn time. This subject is fascinating.
Airport-adjacent houses: Thudthudthudthud
"Y'all I can't see the runway you're gonna have to guide me in"
I really hope this happens not for military or passenger planes, but cargo. If we somehow make a super sonic cargo plane, that would be insane.
Innovation is a good thing where there is integrity.
Concorde and DEI sounds like a greaaaat idea
About freaking time !!!
Can't wait! Would be great!
Adding the pissed off Ben Affleck slamming the car door was 🤌
i mean you still hear a fucking jet flying by with the engines to break the sound barrier
Imagine if you were talking to someone and then a noise like a car door being slammed is heard and then you can’t hear the person next to 😂😂
Getting rid of Sonic booms before GTA6 Is Crazy
That is so cool. Man, just a thud? Sheesh. Those scientists be revving their brains.
I'm just glad Taylor Will be able to make her long 15 min flights a tad shorter ❤
That's the N7. I'm here for it
This would open up a lot of doors to companies and furthering commercial space flight plans etc.
That is freaking amazing!!!
As a kid, we had my bedroom window crack from a sonic boom.
National super sonic flights will return its status as the elite class of seats.
This is so dope I hope they get it.

"Perfect speed, is being there." 😉
People forget why the concorde stopped flying. It wasn't because of the sonic booms or that accident that happened in France.
It was cost of operation and comfort.
I would name it the Arrowhead.
Now that's good tech😊😊😊

Ozone layer: I thought we agreed on this!
Remember Concorde? Yeah, wild stuff
Boarding and unboarding is where the time saving needs to be
They can’t even keep the doors on the ones we have now
Cool idea. I'm glad the tech is being developed. I would rather see airship tech being developed.
The fundamental issue with supersonic passenger flight is that it is massively cost ineffective because of drag. While the ground might not hear the sonic boom, it still is happening, and the plane is still experiencing massive amounts of drag
