@@TheAeroInsider Yup - as you pointed out, locating the engines above the fuselage is a common approach, even in subsonic concepts, like Boeing's Blended Wing Body.
@@TheAeroInsider When was the last time you HEARD a jet's engines when it was AT ALTTUDE? The issue for supersonic flight over land is the sonic boom. . . not engine noise. I lived at Edwards AFB for 3 years. I never noticed the engine noise, but the whole (1950's) house rattled from the sonic booms.
Sonic boom has nothing to do with engines being afterburning or not. Now, making afterburning engines relatively quiet themselves is another matter
Agreed. It still can contribute to overall noise though.

You’re totally right. But still, when aircraft are not at cruise altitude, you can definitely hear their engines, ESPECIALLY louder engines.
why does the booms engines look like bombs that could fall of at any moments
They remind me of old-school 737 engines a bit!
True lmao
Australia to USA , Japan China to USA , Tran Atlantic, Brazil to France , Australia to GCC. That's a decent market size.
It likely won’t be able to do half those routes unfortunately.
The Boom Overture will be the quietest superonic civil airliner for the simple reason that it isn't ever going to get built
And SpaceX was doomed to fail. . .
@@user-qt5xm2xp2f You are getting confused. It was the hyperloop and the Mars colony that were doomed to fail.
