Is there going to be a disruptive model in airline industry in the near future 2 or 3 years from.now?

There's a talk about supersonic airliners hypersonic electric planes

Will airplanes look different in the near future 2023

Like Japan airlines invested in supersonic planes will Japan airlines no longer have boeing 787 dreamliner or any widebody aircraft will 737 or airbus a320 neo fleet be out of production due to electric airliners

Short flights will still use conventional aircraft, hypersonic flight uses more fuel, and sonic boom would make over land flights restrictive. The Concorde was only allowed to fly to and from New York to Europe in America.

No because the British ones were banned from most of the USA purley because the USA hadnt nvented it and there's also evdence that the CIA sabotaged it

Aviation troll strikes again.

Yes, we will have bullet planes in two to three years.

The entire aviation industry is staid, slow moving, extremely safety oriented, and extremely conservative. Except for the paint on the aircraft, it's doubtful that a casual observer will note ANY differences in 3 years.

No. The problem is energy density. The energy density of jet fuel is about 12,000 kW/kg. The current generation of rechargeable batteries has the energy density of around 250 kW/kg. The batteries may reach 300 kW/kg by early 2020s and perhaps 500 kW/kg by 2030 using some exotic chemicals. Here is the thing, even if the batteries could deliver 1000 kW/kg, an electric equivalent of the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 would need 140 metric tons (!) of batteries. That's in addition to the structure, equipment and passengers. By comparison, the A320 and the 737 have the maximum take off weight of 80 to 88 metric tons.

People who think that electric aircraft are going to save the world are ignoring many things. First, the electricity to charge the batteries does not magically comes from three holes in the wall. Connected to that receptacle is a power plant, and chances are that it is still burning coal, oil or natural gas. An electric plane simply shifts the emissions from the tail pipe to the power plant.

Second, they ignore the environmental and health impacts of mining, refining, using and eventually disposing of the chemicals used in the batteries. Much of lithium used in today's batteries comes from places where environmental, health and child labor laws either don't exist or are not enforced. About a month ago I read an article about a pre-teen boy who works in the lithium ponds in Mali to provide income for his family. He doesn't go to school, and his family certainly can't afford any of the electronic devices powered by the lithium he mines. He is already showing sign of build up of fluid in the lungs due to prolonged exposure to lithium dust.

Absolutely not.
From the preliminary studies until entry into service, a new aircraft takes at least 6 or 7 years, and that number would be higher if there was very novel technologies implemented. 2 or 3 years from now, you would see aircraft with advances fist developed at least 5 years ago.
Head of any? No?
So nothing disruptive is in the pipeline.

The AVERAGE life expectancy for a passenger airliner in commercial service is 20 years. Yes, there WILL be new airplanes coming on line in the future. No, they won't ALL be that much different than the ones you see today.

Only time will tell.
