The government talked about the likely demand for a civilian version of a supersonic aircraft

114
The press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade reported on the possible demand for Russian supersonic aircraft. We are talking about hypothetical civilian airliners based on the Tu-160 aircraft, which Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about during a visit to the Kazan aircraft manufacturing plant. According to Putin, a supersonic aircraft would be very relevant for civilian air travel, given the huge scale of Russia.

The press service of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce reports that demand may be around 20-30 of civil aircraft of this type.



The government talked about the likely demand for a civilian version of a supersonic aircraft


RIA News cites the statement of the ministry representatives:
The enterprises of PJSC "UAC" (United Aircraft Building Corporation) have a scientific and technical reserve for supersonic administrative aircraft. Domestic demand is projected at a level of at least 20-30 machines at a price of 100-120 million dollars. The export potential of the aircraft can also be significant.


It is also reported that the design and creation of the first demonstration flight model of a civilian airliner based on the Tu-160 with a capacity of up to 50 passenger seats may take about 8 years - taking into account the backlog of engines.

At the same time, the department did not comment on the very feasibility of such a project, taking into account the refusal of the USSR and France to operate supersonic Tu-144 and Concord.

      In the USSR, a Tu-144 ticket cost six times more than a regular flight. I wonder who and where in Russia will fly on it? And to whom to get him involved, if Europe refused from Concord. Kmu needs to build a special runway under it for one or two flights a week. Mass supersonic will not become for a long time.

        That is, the ticket price in Alma-Ata has become 62 rubles. 50 kopecks The Tu-144 ticket included a margin “For speed and comfort”, it was issued on a separate ticket form and amounted to 22 rubles. That is, the full amount of the ticket on the Tu-144 turned out to be 84 rubles. 50 kopecks

    In one of the telecasts, a specialist from the manufacturer said that the design documentation for such an aircraft was almost ready and that the cost of transportation on it would be almost lower than on subsonic ones. And as if a prototype can be pumped out for testing in less than 4 years.
    God forbid.
    And on the other hand, since the idea was expressed by the President, immediately everyone started to fuss, showing zeal. At the top, everything is entirely - lights and doctors, like Rogozin and Kindersu ... well, you know. In which case, of course, they will step aside and will blame the President.

      Well, here I already wrote at VO that I believe that it is time to revive the project of a supersonic civilian aircraft again. And that was long before Putin. wink I will briefly voice my reasons.
      The global market for serious civil aviation is already divided. And nobody is waiting for us with our planes there. That is, with the help of politics, you can squeeze some part of the market, but you can’t get into the top like that. To return to the top aviation powers in the civilian aircraft industry, one must enter the market with a new product. Albeit a niche one, but one that has no competitors. A supersonic passenger or cargo, postal plane is the very top aviation technology. There will not be many competitors for him for a considerable time. So there is a chance to stake out a small, but extremely high-tech part of the market. request
      About the price. First, do not forget that a lot has changed since Tu144. There was a computer simulation, new automation systems to save the aircraft from pilot error, new materials, etc. That is, there is every chance to make a new aircraft better than that144. Secondly, it is necessary to form a market for him, and not wait for when this market itself appears. Wasn't there a tablet before Jobs with an iPad? There were, but it was he who convinced millions of people. that they need him. So it is here. We need an aggressive PR company, convincing that Maybachs and Bentles are for beggars, and the correct real boys fly only on Russian supersonic planes. So that sheikhs and billionaires stand in line behind them. There was no such niche in the USSR, it was hard to say how much a supersonic business jet would pay off, or it was hard to say. But one thing is certain - entering the market with such an aircraft will immediately return us to the top aviation powers. This means that ordinary planes will be better sold, since we can become a trendsetter for a while. My IMHO - I do not impose. hi

    Much has been said about the hole and enlightenment;))
    But recently, such a feeling, the President of the Russian Federation not only lives in parallel Russia, but already specifically burns !!!
    If it weren’t so sad, you can only rejoice at the “trolling” of officials! Which is perceived by anyone as a promise to action. But the sad thing is that the reverse medal of the sovereign system creeps out (it looks like an almost cult of personality, when no one dared to make a constructive addition across the opinion of the supreme leader and make arguments about thinking, and the words of the supreme are perceived as dogma).
    Very alarming!
    Confirming the perniciousness of the "royal" system.
    As for the supersonic passenger airliners for 50 top managers, this is of course dullness of pure water.
    Instead of developing high-speed railway trains of 250-300 km / h between the cities of Russia, let me remind you that we have a very long country. And if you look at how long it takes to get from point A to point B of the Russian Federation and compare it with the same indicators in China, Europe and Japan, then the Russian Federation for this indicator in the 19th century;)! And this is sad!
    It is not necessary to remind about highways - Siberia-the Far East, Ural - roads of federal significance in places with soil, in places single-lane asphalt!
    And according to economic models, economic growth is rigidly tied to the speed of movement of both cargo and human resources! Which leads to economic growth and productivity growth!
    Most importantly, such models are tied to the infrastructure response of the economy. It has been tested in life in Germany, Europe, the States, Japan, China and other developed countries.
    It is proven proven! No need to reinvent the wheel - you need to invest in the development of Russian infrastructure, and not in US securities.
    And here, the President of the Russian Federation is thinking about a high-speed airplane for top managers!
    Answer me - is it already senile ...?

      What do you propose to do the whole country? Everywhere and everywhere to catch up with developed countries? So we will remain forever catching up!
      Let me remind you, another example from the space industry, the USSR began to study space immediately after the war in a country destroyed to the Volga, with a starving population without developed infrastructure, etc. Maybe then it was not necessary? Were they wrong then !? They are right, and even how, because how they became the first in outer space so still in the lead, despite the efforts of the Rogozins and the dashing 90s. What a jolt it gave then! It is difficult to imagine Russia now without space, which began to be lifted in a crushed country then.
      What kind of small-town thinking - if they don’t do it in the west, then we won’t, where are we to go ... But then, bam, their Jobs have already riveted tablets, now we are smart, we can start to catch up .... Forward and with the song, we’ll even have a place in the market there.

    I agree! But one must live by the realities of the 21st century.
    And this is economics - profitability and frozenness.
    So we take the calculator and count.
    According to the Tu-144 and Concord, the mathematics turned out to be not comforting.
    And everything is relative.
    Cost-effective for passengers and airlines to operate with modern subsonic sides.

    Upon the restructuring of the Tu-160, the first is the evolutionary development of aviation, as a stepping stone to the next stage - hypersound. Secondly, structurally, the airframe and avionics have already been worked out and do not require large expenses, there are problems with the engines, so if you do not develop this area, then nothing will change. Thirdly, the development of supersonic airliners is carried out by all major aircraft manufacturers, but no one has such achievements as ours, and not taking advantage of the existing advantage now means playing catch-up again.

      not logic says, but engineering calculation, confirmed by the experience of operating supersonic airliners. Neither the Concord nor the Tu-144 were cost-effective. “Concords” generally handed over to airlines for 1 pound, if only the planes flew! If you had the beginnings of education, you would know that having exceeded the Mach number. fuel consumption rises sharply. In addition, the "two-swing" planes are not eating ordinary kerosene - but expensive thermostable.
