Will hypersonic passenger planes supersonic planes take over the long haul market?
If supersonic hypersonic become norm will it mean airbus a350 and boeing 787 dreamlimer or 777x cease widebody plane production will airplane manufactures cease production of any widebody planes such as 787 dreamliner or airbus a350
Will electric planes mean narrowbody aircraft like 737 max or airbus a320neo will cease production of narrowbody planes
Will electric cars driverless vehicles take over the world anytime soon
Will hyperloop replace planes will robo taxis kill public transit buses trains light rail
Is china serious on building a hypersonic jet that could fly from new york to bejing in 2 hours
Will elon musks bfr rockets cut flight times from point to point in 90 minutes
Is the airline industry fleet going to look different in the next few decades
Not going to happen. Cost prohibitive. Look at the Concorde.
I highly doubt that supersonic planes will replace current subsonic planes such as 777, 787 or A350.
Its possible that commercial supersonic aircraft will make a comeback, but it will always be just a niche market for a few situations where it actually makes business sense. It will always be significantly more expensive so there will always be demand for cheaper sub-sonic flights.
The few people who can afford to pay more for a supersonic ticket could also just pay more for a first class ticket on a sub-sonic flight. That doesn't save them any time, but if you're sleeping in a comfy first class seat with premium meals and unlimited drinks, then you probably wouldn't mind spending extra time on the airplane.
Nobody at Boeing or Airbus is worrying about their planes becoming obsolete because of the possibility of a new supersonic aircraft.
Not ever.
The cost increases exponentially with the speed travelled and with the size of the world and all of the low altitude and over land speed restrictions and the airport delays it wouldn't be worth it.
- Do passenger air jets fly over the North Pole often on their way to other side of world (Ex. China) from North America? Was watching a documentary where someone left Canada on a passenger jet and they showed the flight going over the north pole to China would it not be kind of dangerous if they had to land and had to get out at the North pole? the cold air pressure is not too much for passengers inside?
- Is it safe for two planes to take off at the same time at the same airport? I was wondering because I was flying out of Guangzhou airport in China and I saw another plane on another runway take off almost at the same time we did (he was headed away from us though)
- Will nasa's supersonic planes change the way we travel in 2021? If all goes well will airlines have to cancel their subsonic planes order due to supersonic planes Will supersonic passenger airplanes mean 787 dreamliner or airbus a350 go out of production due to supersonic flight Will supersonic passenger airplanes mean widebody airplane be out of business will the airline industry no longer fly subsonic planes
- If companies stopped making supersonic planes like the concorde because it was too noisy expensive why are they bringing them back? Companies like nasa lockheed martin are working on supersonic air travel And colorado company boom is developing a 55 seater plane So if companies are working on supersonic travel does that mean airlines will have to cancel their boeing 787 dreamliner or airbus A350 orders or any widebody orders due to supersonic travel
