Competitor of the Russian project: The United States announced the start date of the Overture supersonic passenger airliner

In the United States, a supersonic civilian airliner is being developed. Recall that some time ago the President of Russia also announced the need to create an aircraft of this type. According to Vladimir Putin, for such a huge country as Russia, it is necessary to create a passenger aircraft that could cover long distances in significantly less time than the existing aircraft spend on flight. At the same time, statements appeared about the possible use of military developments. aviation, as well as taking into account the experience of developing the Tu-144. This supersonic airliner began operating in the USSR in 1975. The Tu-144 made its last flight 22 years ago.

In the United States, a supersonic airliner is being developed under the Boom Supersonic Overture project. It is known that the main investor in this project is AEV (American Express Ventures), a financial company with assets of about $ 200 billion. Development is underway in Denver, where production of these aircraft for commercial flights is planned.

The developers note that the investment has helped them “realize dozens of startups in several directions and will now enable the Overture supersonic airliner project to be realized.

From a statement by a company representative about the timing of the start of operation of the aircraft:

We expect passenger traffic to begin by 2029.

It is known that the American supersonic aircraft will carry up to 88 passengers. Earlier it was reported that he will be able to take on board no more than 44 people. After a financial analysis, they came to the conclusion that in this case, air tickets may be overpriced. To date, the estimate of the average price of a ticket for a flight from Washington to Paris in the event of the implementation of the project corresponds to approximately 2,7 thousand US dollars. Moreover, the time of such a flight will not exceed 4 hours. An ordinary airliner spends an average of 7 hours on such a flight.

It is expected that for the first time the Overture aircraft, which is actually a competitor to the Russian project, will take to the skies for a test flight in 2025. This is a prototype.

At the same time, the company already has preliminary orders for the delivery of a supersonic airliner. In particular, the order came from the Japanese airline Japan Airlines.

supersonic airliner designed by Boom Supersonic Overture.

It seems to me that it won't shoot ...

will carry up to 88 passengers.

That is, it is a linear liner.
Putin, it seems, "wished", on the contrary - a business jet.
So that all sorts of Abramovichs with Usman's phallometry dealt with the Saudi sheikhs.

We have? They may well. Since the days of the Concorde and the Tu-144, engines have jumped forward greatly in terms of economy and profitability. If it shoots with us, then as Aurus - "upper people" to carry or for sale (but this is unlikely, they will not let us into this market)

[Free wind]

The engines did not jump anywhere, these turboshaft double-circuit ones achieved efficiency, and the turbojets, and supersonic is possible on them, and often only on the fringe, did not jump anywhere and until they jump, look at modern jet fighters.

And Maybachs and rolls in the west are bought by workers and collective farmers.

Our engineers make good planes.
And the production workers can collect them.

And the quality of our aircraft is not worse than Boeing.

We are witnessing the "retraining" of air carriers in Russia.

And no minuses on VO will stop this process.

Correct the cuckoo and aeroflot.

Money in regional transportation. A huge need for fast and cheap transport within the country.

In Moscow offices they suddenly realized (probably someone suggested, I don't believe in the inspiration of an official whose jo.pa has grown into a chair) that people need to fly not only to Moscow.

Money in regional transportation. Great need for fast and cheap transport within the country.

At the expense of cheap, in relation to supersonic, you are clearly excited. I don't think that ordinary passengers will gladly pay triple the price for a ticket, in order to save 3-4 hours of time. Such an aircraft is for a narrow circle, not for mass transportation.

[Temples]

Quote: Piramidon

Where did you find me about cheap supersonic?

Don't attribute your thoughts to me.

I say that air travel is profitable.

I am saying that regional air travel can be comparable to the prices of bus tickets.

In general, air transportation is cheaper than road transportation. It's about passenger transport.

There is no need to build thousands of kilometers of highways for air travel.

You can go for a minus up to completely erasing the keyboard and fingers and toes, but air transportation in our vast country is cheaper than automobile transportation.

Who doubts let them look how many people were transported per year on the AN-2.

Quote: Free Wind

The engines did not skip anywhere, these turboshaft double-circuit ones achieved efficiency, and turbojets, and supersonic is possible on them, and often only on the frigate,

Do not skip, say?
Let's take a look at this very American super sonic. On the picture .
What do we see?
The glider is similar to the Tu-144 and Concorde, but without a drooping nose (now you can poke video cameras everywhere) and four engines.
What are they going to put there?
Surely the engine from the F-35, which has a maximum non-afterburner thrust of 13 tp.
Will it be enough?
Quite.
We look by analogy. The "Concorde" had four 15,75 tons of thrust (if memory did not change) and was quite enough. And this plane will be one and a half times lighter ... or 30 percent.
And this thrust (13 tons each) WITHOUT afterburner.
The cost of tickets for such liners will always be very expensive, but this also saves time.
If you fly from the United States to Europe for only 4 hours, then you can rush there in one day, do all the work (meeting, negotiations, signing a contract, inspection, shopping) and come back.
The rich and the busy always have their own quirks.
And for our hypothetical "business jet" for 20 - 24 passengers (or 8 people in the VIP version), in this case, there is also a niche - sheikhs would rather buy a business jet than a liner ... Or both.
And we also have such an engine on the way - "Product-30" for the second stage of the Su-57.
And the above-mentioned businessjet can be executed on TWO such engines.
Moreover, our engine turns out to be noticeably (one and a half times) lighter than the American one.
With the same traction characteristics.
The question remains as to the adequacy of the design personnel for such a project.
And demand in the domestic market.
But if the sheikhs do pay (for the development, as negotiations with the Emirates were carried out), then the supersonic businessjet will still find its niche in the market.

How? To produce only for our oligarchs?

[loki565]

As a business budget, yes, but not as a regular liner. Few people are willing to pay twice as much for a ticket that saves 1-2 hours of flight. Even without afterburner, such engines are very voracious.

[vadsonen]

Few are willing to pay twice as much for a ticket

The main income of airlines on intercontinental flights comes from business class passengers. These tickets also cost several thousand euros.

saved 1-2 hours of flight

Not one or two hours, but 2-3 times. In one day, you can fly "there", do things, and "back." True, it may depend on the direction, otherwise you will have to do things at night.

[loki565]

Do not confuse business jets with passengers who fly in the same plane as others, only in more comfortable conditions. The US project will be smaller than the Concorde, which means fewer passengers and more expensive tickets. As for the speed, it is also not so simple, they will switch to supersonic already on the echelon far from cities. No one wants to listen to the claps from which the glass rings throughout the house, Concordes usually already switched to supersonic over the sea.

[bayard]

Quote: loki565

... The US project will be smaller than the Concorde, which means fewer passengers and more expensive tickets.

Will it be much smaller?
Initially "Concordes" were produced with two salons for 108 passengers. Subsequently, the salons were modernized for 100 passengers.
And the American super sonic will carry 88 passengers.
So it is not much less.
But his engines will most likely be from the F-35 in a derated version (without afterburners) with a thrust of 13 tf. (the "Concorde" - 16,9 tf at afterburner and 14,2 tf max. without afterburner) and that they will be noticeably more economical than the Concord ones, there is no doubt.
And the speed of this will be slightly lower.
And there are already pre-orders for these aircraft.
So it will fly.

They won’t get a shit, don’t flatter yourself. Your holy faith in America cannot. They did not fire a supersonic airliner in the 70s, when the states were at the peak of their technological power, all the more so it will not work now. World air transportation has fallen catastrophically, Boeing is idle, airlines are incurring huge losses, and do you piously believe that someone will make an overly expensive plane with overly expensive tickets for it? Moreover, in the context of the deepening financial crisis. Well, nothing, blessed is the one who believes.

In no other version will a supersonic airliner take off in principle - and nowhere. Therefore, the Concordes were half-empty and flew. and they were not taken off the line because of the crash.
Even with business jets, I doubt very much that the plane will pay off. Now, in general, air travel is in crisis

[Pereira]

If the leaders of the epidemic press the Off button, aviation will be revived.

[Cowbra]

Not. Civil aviation pays off with significant volumes of the aircraft sales market, while the domestic Russian market is extremely small. The rest of us are stupidly not allowed. In the USSR, the market was several orders of magnitude wider, and as far as I remember. the civil aviation industry actually worked there for profitability

[Temples]

Airbus spends 1 grams per thousand km for the carriage of 19 passenger.

Count it.

Aviation is a highly profitable business.

Americans fly, fly and fly again.

Fly faster and cheaper.

Modern Aeroflot and other carriers in Russia are simply ripping off the population.
However, so are the bankers.

And talking about the crisis in air travel is for the poor.

[ANB]

... Modern Aeroflot and other carriers in Russia are simply ripping off the population.

But a ticket for Russian Railways is comparable in price or even more expensive. So people fly at full speed even at such prices.
You can save money only by car / bus.

[Temples]

Quote: Temples

Airbus spends 1 grams per thousand km for the carriage of 19 passenger.

of course 1km.

As a result, about 1000 liters of kerosene per 2 km.

The amount of fuel for the transportation of one body in a car for such a distance in a passenger car will be higher.

5 people in their own car with 10 liters will not go far.

Do not forget that for a trip to this very thousand km, you need to build a highway this very 1000 km long.
And do not forget that every 5 years (maximum) this very road needs to be covered with asphalt again.

The plane allows you to get away from constant investments in the road.

With the state approach, air transportation in our country is more profitable.
This is for those who measure everything with dough.

And I will remind the rest of the accessibility for citizens of all the territory of our homeland.
Only aviation makes it possible to visit Kamchatka from Volzhansk.
If aviation becomes not a means of stripping, but a means of communication.

[ANB]

Who did you answer? I received a notification.

[Temples]

Myself)))
I quarreled with arithmetic today.

I can’t multiply 0,02 by a thousand.

In general, European airbuses spend 20 liters of kerosene on the transportation of one passenger per thousand km.

Cars are now cheaper, because the greed of air carriers is off the charts.

But the start of collecting money on the freeways will soon equalize the cost of travel by private car and by plane.



It's time to rest.

[ANB]

... Cars are now cheaper, because the greed of air carriers is off the charts.

And I only supplemented you, not argued.
The greed of air carriers comes from the greed of Russian Railways.
Therefore, people fly with such prices. And there are places where, except for an airplane, you cannot get by anything.
We take the resorts of the Azov Sea. Like Kuchugura. A family of 5, going on headscarves.
The cheapest is by car.
Then there is a plane.
The train costs the same, but it takes a long time, and still get there from Anapa.
If you two, it's easier on the plane.

I wouldn't even take it.
I made the calculations for myself, based on the fact that the car is still there.

Although the bus is cheaper, it is difficult to travel with children.
It already depends on the budget.

First you need to calculate what is needed to produce the liner! Count the design research institutes, count the factories, which need to be fed by CONSTANT sales of products - not "19 grams per passenger", but to sell planes somewhere constantly! "Count" ... Atas, trees.
And the "highly profitable business" - you also count, where is the "highly profitable" bombardier now? Ah nafig closed, went bankrupt and his remains are overbought? Embraer is also in fact bankrupt, now they are getting out of their way. to buy them Boeing, but only Boeing itself is close to bankruptcy.

For which several generations of their children will pay with their standard of living. And here they tell us about some kind of super expensive liner, which, in fact, is not needed by anyone. Is that for the sake of the most beloved fun in America. Arrange a PR campaign, strengthen the company's capitalization and, as a result, cut money, with zero exhaust at the end.

Only twice as fast

Add a couple of hours to drive from city to airport and check-in. Plus baggage claim and a ride from the airport to the city. And also such a factor as time zones. Either arrive at night, or you have to fly out at night. In total, on the Moscow-Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk route, the time saving will come out in no time, but the money ...
In general, any of the business trip (not to mention the usual) will work on the day of departure - arrival? And who will need these "saved" 4 hours in the air.

[rocket757]

It's a familiar thing, time zones are a cool topic.
It is clear that flights are very far, at acceleration, the effect of some time saving will have ... but at the expense of long flights, no one even dreamed of. Nobody will refuel them in the air before, otherwise nothing, for now.

And what, without a supersonic toy for the oligarchs?
Maybe we will finally bring the new "maize" to serial production?

It seems that this is not the case when there is a need for competition.
Such airplanes will not be massive and the traffic flow will be very limited.
Unless the next Arab sheikh will buy himself a plane for show-off.
Where it is more urgent to develop local airlines and mid-range flights on devices such as Il-114 / Tu-334 and An-2/3 / Baikal.
At least commercial success is guaranteed here.

[loki565]

There is definitely no future for the Tu 334, it was blinded from what it was and it was already at the design stage losing to modern liners, when it was understood that the project was canceled.

[U-58]

I meant a niche, but not a specific model.
However, I note that the Iu-334 was blinded very well. In addition, they were embodied in gland with very good performance characteristics.
But for the sake of the Kremlin "innovators" and the lobby from the Su firm, a kind of "super" began to be made.
Or do you also think that from "super"?

In terms of flight performance characteristics, the superjet is several times better than the Tu334. An outdated wing was installed on Tu334, it was originally designed for the D-236 engine, which was never built, as a result, what was installed. With a T-shaped tail unit and engines at the back, he a priori lost to all modern liners. By the way, if you count on the modern course for the development of Tu334, they spent a billion dollars and the result is zero. They spent half on the superjet and put the plane into production.

[Zaurbek]

The question of profitability in the West is no less acute ... and it does not fit into mass transportation. In any case, everything that is designed in this format is Business jets.

[ANB]

Yes, everything will rest against profitability.
Fly 7 hours 30 minutes for 22 thousand rubles or 4 hours (less than 2 times faster) for 2.7 thousand bucks.
For whom 3 hours of savings can pay off for that kind of money?
Only for those who fly business jets.

Well, here I was comparing the prices of an ordinary liner and the planned supersonic one. Passing expenses will be there and there.
Comparison of airplanes with other modes of transport is a separate topic.
Until 8 o'clock, I prefer the train. It is often more expensive though.

[Zaurbek]

There are examples in the competition between airplanes and high-speed trains

[iouris]

Supersonic flights of passenger aircraft over the United States were banned. Something has changed? I don’t think so. The safety level of such an aircraft will be lower, and the life cycle cost, especially of a Russian one (due to engines), will be higher. Therefore, I do not think that the demand for such liners will be great.

To be honest, the idea of ​​Putin on a plane for the oligarchs is a utopia. For such things, you need a name. I would still understand if SSJ and MC-21 made a positive reputation in the market, and then this project would follow. And so ... for the servants, the effect is zero, or rather, only taxpayers' money is spent. And the exhaust is zero. There is no question if the oligarchs were engaged in the project, who are like businessmen, and paid for the development from their own pockets.

[Vadim237]

So the UAE will finance the Russian supersonic business.

[iouris]

They will give money on certain conditions, which will have to be completed on time (deadline). Life cycle cost will be negotiated. Therefore, the project will be very unprofitable.

[eklmn]

"Competitor of the Russian project"
Sounds nice! The editorial staff will not die of modesty!
There can be competition, if the planes are of the same class, if they are different, then this is not competition. But there is another amersky project where Russia can be a competitor to him if it catches up!
The American company Aerion is creating its AS2 business class superjet for 12 people. The speed is 1,6M and the range is 8,800km. Development costs $ 4bn and trials will begin this year. The company is so confident in the implementation of the project and the requirements of the market that, even before the start of testing, it began construction of a plant for the production of aircraft in the amount of 300 in 10 years (about 500 in total) at a price of $ 120 million each.
Created by digital modeling and blown through a pipe, where air was pumped with water from a hydroelectric power plant (see movie)
https://aerionsupersonic.com/as2/
But Russia needs to be prepared for the noise characteristics of the aircraft.
Concorde flew to New York once a week, because the noise of the engines, you see, disturbed the inhabitants of the Parisian suburbs. And Concorde never flew deep into the United States, only to NY, because of the gentle amers who hate noise.
If Russia creates a business class only for domestic flights, then it will be cheaper, because there is no need to bother with engine noise during takeoff / landing / sound_barrier - no one will complain, and if they do, they will quickly be gagged. Well, if you fly abroad, then immediately problems ...

As for a supersonic airliner, there must be very specific conditions for the project to pay off, first of all, a long non-stop flight distance, special conditions for handling and servicing passengers.
since in reality the departure takes 3 hours, after the flight it will take another hour to reach the destination.
The result is not 4 and 7, but 8 and 11, which makes a big difference.

In our country, there is no need for such a passenger plane. A business jet is also not an option, the plane for our thieves, sorry oligarchs, by definition must be Western in order to fly there and be serviced without hindrance.

For government officials, well, also clearly not for the president and the country's top leadership.

In the USSR, modifications of the Su-27UB were used to solve a number of specific problems. If there is a need for such an aircraft now, then we have an even better option - the Su-34. Having removed the armor, part of the combat systems, leaving the refueling system in the air, and plugging in the latest engines developed for the Su-57, I think it is possible to get a supersonic aircraft better than the Su-27 / -30 for solving certain tasks, which, moreover, will be refueled in the air, yes and will be able to land on many airfields at the expense of its chassis.
If you fantasize and admit the option of a four-seater cockpit for the Su-34, i.e. 2 pilots and 2 passengers, then "cheap and cheerful" we get the desired supersonic government plane.

Recall that some time ago, the President of Russia also announced the need to create an aircraft of this type. According to Vladimir Putin, for such a huge country as Russia, it is necessary to create a passenger aircraft that could cover long distances in significantly less time than the existing aircraft spend on flight. At the same time, statements appeared about the possible use of military aviation developments, as well as taking into account the experience of developing the Tu-144. This supersonic airliner began operating in the USSR in 1975. The Tu-144 made its last flight 22 years ago.

Back! To the future
Cho really bother with supersonic there - you give hypersound! He took off from Plesetsk on Vanguard and in half an hour glided to Vostochny.
