CONCORDE-2 jerk to hypersound. Is Concorde coming back?

89


In July, 2015, the company Airbus patented the design of the aircraft "CONCORDE-2", which, according to the project, should fly at a speed of 3,435 miles per hour (about 5500 km / h). "Squeeze" from patent information:







It seems to be nothing unusual: a hypersonic passenger plane, a patent (as is customary), again from Tokyo in Los Angeles for three hours of summer, from London to New York in one hour, cruising - 4,5M. Ordinary ...

Some oddities, of course, are present (response to PAK YES? New EU strategist?):

1. The patent owners are: EADS Astrium - a subsidiary of EADS (100% of shares), the largest manufacturer of spacecraft and EADS-EUROPEAN AERONAUTIC DEFENSE AND SPACE COMPANY - the largest European aerospace corporation and defense industry.
Now it's all called EA Airbus Group (Airbus Airbus Defense & Space Airbus Helicopters)

CONCORDE-2 jerk to hypersound. Is Concorde coming back?


EADS is the sole shareholder (100%) of Airbus SAS, a company engaged in the manufacture of passenger, cargo and military transport aircraft. In total, the concern EA Airbus Group owns:

100% Eurocopter (helicopters).
100% EADS Astrium (satellites).
50% ATR (turboprop aircraft).
47% Dassault Aviation (fighters).
46% Eurofighter GmbH (fighters).
40% MBDA (missiles).


EADS is the second largest aerospace vehicle in the world after the Boeing concern, and again the second largest manufacturer of weapons and military equipment in Europe (after BAE Systems.)

2. The patent for some reason states that the liner from Airbus designed mainly for military purposes.

"Airbus intends to use Concorde-2 primarily for military purposes .."

3. The patented "Concord-2" can accommodate 19 passengers only.
"... and would have a passenger limousine of 19 passengers."

Will it be enough? Or am I behind the times?

For all history There were two cases of commercial use of supersonic passenger aircraft:

Tu-144 (First flight 31 December 1968 of the year), 16 units produced, speed up to 2500 km / h, cruising ceiling 20000 m, range up to 5330 km, number of passengers: up to 80 (normal).



I was touched by the cost of a ticket on the route Moscow-Almaty-TOTAL 68 rubles from the nose (on a subsonic aircraft 48 rubles). Nostalgia just the same.

Tu-144LL "Moscow" (record 1999 year.)



Concorde (First flight 2 March 1969 of the year), 20 units produced, speed up to 2 300 km / h, cruising ceiling 18 300м, range to 6 470km, cost of 3,5-hour flight from London to New York did not fall below $ 1500km end - "ALL-THAT" is four times more expensive than a ticket for a Boeing 747, which overcomes the Atlantic in seven to eight hours.

At the beginning of 1980-x operation of "Concord" began to make a profit. In 1983, at Air France, it amounted to 3,1 million dollars, in the following - already 6,3 million. Profit growth was observed in subsequent years. Thus, the British airline British Airways, starting with 1983, began to receive an average of 12-15 million dollars annually.



The tragic but very interesting video of -Air France Concorde flight 4590 takes off with fire: Concorde crash that killed 113



For reference (suddenly, who does not know): 6 December 2010 The American airline Continental Airlines was found guilty by a French court for the unpremeditated murder of 113 people who died in the crash of the 10 supersonic Concord passenger plane near Paris. The court ordered the American company to pay in compensation for damages and fines 1,2 million euros ($ 1,6 million).

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

PS "Club Concorde, a volunteer organization, wants to spend 250 million dollars ($ 47millions already seems to have accumulated) to return the original" Concorde "to production by 2019 year.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

What is interesting in this patent?


In principle, everything is literally "chewed" in this video:


Who does not understand or who is too lazy to watch until the end, I will try to explain.

CONCORDE-2 is equipped with three types of propulsion systems:
-turbine;
-reactive;
-line supersonic.

Hypersonics takes off from a conventional runway on turbofan engines, then using LRE (H2 + O2), almost vertically rises to a height of 35.000m, while overcoming the supersonic barrier and, overclocking to 4,5M, includes hypersonic uniflowers. Cruising flight, on cruising range on the same hypersonic direct flow. Landing again on the old, tested TRDD. Fuel is hydrogen, oxidizer: oxygen and outside air (for turbofan).

The specially designed shape of the wing and the fins, as well as overcoming the supersonic barrier in vertical acceleration (the propagation of a sound wave parallel to the surface of the Earth) solves the main problem of the SPS (or rather, GPS) - noise.

A dedicated air corridor at an altitude of about 30,5 kilometers, in fact, will help reduce noise and noise and will not disturb the rest of the rest of the western worker.

The SPS (Concord-1) at take-off produced over two times more noise than the Boeing-707 or DC-8. True, no one did the measurements, but this is the main formal argument against the "Concord" in the American sky on behalf of American air transport services.

They also talked about the OBS agency about the increased opacity of Olympus, which supposedly would inevitably lead to an increase in cancer of the American electorate - but this argument does not stand up to criticism even from the US State Department and its employees.

For your information: TRP "Olympus" 593-1 had a higher noise level than the dual-circuit NK-144 installed on the Tu-144.

Ps. Details can be found in the US09079661 patent:

http://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?PageNum=0&docid=09079661&IDKey=837D3BE4AD88%0D%0A&HomeUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2Fnph-Parser%3FSect2%3DPTO1%2526Sect2%3DHITOFF%2526p%3D1%2526u%3D%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html%2526r%3D1%2526f%3DG%2526l%3D50%2526d%3DPALL%2526S1%3D9079661.PN.%2526OS%3DPN%2F9079661%2526RS%3DPN%2F9079661

There is no transfer of all forces, and the "censorship" is unlikely to miss such a volume.

Special for EADS: We are citizens of the Russian Federation do not flatter ourselves with a “paunchy”, purely civilian form of the CONCORDE-2 fuselage (seemingly for sure - this is not the Tu-160 and not the B-1B). Do not buy. Fuel H2 (hydrogen). And we know how to hydrogen, and how to store it.
Therefore, Airbus will not take us through a hypersonic passenger transcontinental airliner on the 19 passengers. We are watching. Here such bison on the "Military Review" are going to quietly push through a hypersonic strategist under the guise of GPS on 19 oligarchs heads will not work. wink

And finally: SupersonicAnd come back?

Around the world, aerospace companies and organizations, including NASA, are intensively developing technology that will allow passengers (or cargo) to fly again faster than the speed of sound. Here are some of them:

Spike S-512 supersonic passenger jet


AERION AS2


LOCKHEED MARTIN'S N + 2


Skreemr: 12 000 km / h from Canadian engineer and inventor Charles Bombardier and designer Ray Mattison


It is noteworthy that this Supersonic is launched from the Earth. using an electromagnetic rail gun with a speed close to 5000 km / h. Then the Skreemr should launch a liquid-oxygen rocket engine, gaining height and speed sufficient to turn on a hypersonic straight-through jet-air engine that uses the speed already reached by the aircraft to compress the incoming air. By burning incoming hydrogen and compressed oxygen, this engine can accelerate the plane to an incredible speed in 12 000 km / h.



Poor 75 passengers (which it is designed for), how will they survive this launch from an electromagnetic catapult? There is no anti-nauseous paper bag. Anti-high-altitude suit suit everyone?

The first of this new generation of supersonic (hypersonic) passenger aircraft have real chances to take off at the beginning of the 2020-s. In the meantime .... In the meantime, a consortium of European aerospace companies is designing a rescue capsule for promising hypersonic passenger aircraft.

              with a blunt nose

              The bluntness radius of the nose of a hypersonic aircraft affects the value of its gasification coefficient: the smaller the radius of curvature, the sharper the nose, the greater the vapor pressure of the heat-protective coating on the nose and the higher the plasma temperature behind the shock wave hanging on the nose. The formula for calculating the effect of increasing the pressure of saturated vapors with decreasing radius of the droplet was derived by Laplace several centuries ago. It is thanks to this Laplace effect that small droplets of mercury spilled in a room evaporate much faster than large droplets and are more dangerous. Therefore, the socks of hypersonic airplanes (Shuttle, Burana) are made blunt - so that they evaporate more slowly. And the aircraft mentioned in the article goes hypersound with an almost vertical take-off at an altitude of about 35 km, where the density and air resistance are much lower than at ground level. At the same altitude, hypersound and Soyuz, Proton missiles, in which the head fairings are also blunt, and the outboard side rocket engines outboard

                about the "stupid nose" is true.
                But not true.
                At hypersound, he goes to hypersonic ramjets, accelerating in horizontal flight.
                In vertical flight, it reaches only less than 2M


                In principle, this is the "beauty"
                And to overcome 35 km at a speed of 0 km / h to 2140 km / h (given that pressure and resistance are 35 km less than 63 times higher than sea level), you can also with a flat nose.
                Threat.
                A rounded ("blunt") nose is needed (important) not for acceleration, but for deceleration from 4,5 m when returning to the dense layers of the atmosphere

                  The missiles are disposable, and no one is interested in fuel consumption, in addition, a rocket engine is used there. A passenger plane must make a large number of flights at hypersonic speed, and if possible use fuel efficiently. Look at the sharp nose of the Tu-144 and thin wings, a hypersonic aircraft should have the same, if not the best aerodynamic qualities.

                    Efficiency (external) of a chemical rocket engine fuel is negligible, less than 1%.
                    The Soyuz launch vehicle consumes 273,9 tons of fuel to deliver 2,5 tons per 200 km.
                    Any transport aircraft with turbofan engines, having 274 tons of fuel, will deliver 2,5 tons of cargo, 3 times around the Earth.
                    The real efficiency of modern engines (turbojet engines) of aircraft flying in the stratosphere is about 40%.

                    The temperature in the stratosphere, where modern planes fly, is about 200 K; therefore, the theoretical (thermal) efficiency is 1 - 200/2500 = 0,92 or 92%.

                  Hypersound is when the speed is greater than 5M, when the sock glows, ablates. The SR-71 does not reach hypersound, its sock does not ablate, does not lose mass, therefore it was made more "aerodynamic". Isaac Newton showed that the flow in a rare (rarefied) medium of the stratosphere has features that lead to the choice of blunt socks, in some cases giving a lower coefficient of resistance to hypersonic flow at the same cross section of the compared hypersonic aircraft.

                      In The Principles of Natural Philosophy (1687), Newton described the medium (such as rarefied air in the stratosphere), posed and solved the problem
                      about when a body formed when a curve rotates around an axis
                      when moving in the aforementioned medium, it will experience less resistance than any other body of revolution with the same height and maximum width.
                      It turned out that this problem is not calculus of variations, but optimal control. The solution to Newton's problem: the cone of least resistance is actually truncated, blunt, and not pointed. A conical or oval body should be replaced by a blunt one, i.e., make a flat round platform in front, forming an angle with a surface adjacent to the site equal to 135 °

    Some sort of contours are not hypersonic for him. Take a look at really supersonic planes, then there are needle-shaped noses, a rigid fuselage design without dangling planes, the engines are either hidden in packages or have long fairings. And here at first I thought it was some kind of airship.
    Yes, and the lower arts are drawn clearly due to the lack of experience in designing supersonic aircraft. Just for example, take the Tu-22 and Tu-22M3, although they are essentially different in design, but nevertheless the same purpose aircraft, which I think is actually much more important in this situation. And if you compare Tu-shki's profile with "bionanoeko" art, then the bomber made half a century ago (running on wood wassat ), on old voracious turbojet engines, radio tubes and carbon fiber then only guessed.

Especially given the frequent destruction at the end sites. The Germans then began to fill the space between the casing and the tanks with fiberglass (as I recall). And the FAU-2 is just very close in theory to this hybrid rocket and aircraft. There are too many doubts, although I welcome the innovations in this industry, but still the concept of the Tu-2000 type VKS is more real.

        Everything matters here - both cost and TWO cryogenic components of the fuel - oxygen and hydrogen. More profitable to have only one! Oxygen has a boiling point of -183 ° C, and a melting point of -218,8 ° C;
        hydrogen has a boiling point: -252,9 ° C, melting point: -259,2 ° C., that is, very close to absolute zero. Oxygen alone is much easier and more economical to use.

    For many reasons, including due to the physiological characteristics of a person.

    In air passenger transportation over long distances (in other cases, there is no need for hyperspeeds), the trend is towards an increase in the number of passengers carried per flight. In this aspect, the traditional fuselage layout has exhausted itself (for example, Airbus A380). Flying wing type assemblies are practically possible (which is what they are doing now).

        Even if you apply in one design the capabilities of all the necessary existing technologies, it is not cost-effective for passenger traffic.

        For military purposes - perhaps. But rather (and more practical) to create an autonomous aerial object capable of reaching hypersonic speeds than managed by the crew.

      In this aspect, the traditional fuselage layout has exhausted itself (for example, Airbus A380). Flying wing type assemblies are practically possible (which is what they are doing now).

      As I understand it, the traditional layout - a cylinder - makes it easier to cope with the difference between internal and external pressures (only a sphere is better), so any other is obviously heavier, which means more expensive to manufacture and operate. And in a flying wing, you can "save" on the wings.

            Not all and not always, for example, a ticket to the first class costs 2-3 times more expensive than a business class, and a business class costs 2-3 times more expensive than a ticket to economy class. There is a difference and it is tangible.

            The dependence of earnings per minute and flight duration is not clear. Bill Gates, even if on a cruise ship floats at low speed, will not stop making $ 6659 per minute. It is generally not clear how the speed of movement of directors depends on the development of the company's business.

    The article is not new and not very revealing. In the 90s, they already took up the supersonic ATF truck.
    1) Yes, damn it, stupid francs decided to disperse the KR with a thermonuclear warhead to 8,7M.! The frog clowns did not think who needs such a CD! It is on the radar screens, it will be visible for several thousand km. on the plasma trail. Do such a CR for ranges less than 500km. just nonsense, she will not be able to maneuver (the strength of the GTD-21 glider was no more than 3,5G). And when approaching the target, such a missile will slow down to 1,5M, otherwise it will not hit the target. And less speed and less kinetic energy of warheads. And what they will cool the JBCH, this is generally a moment. At this speed, it will heat up to 1500 degrees. They will put an ablative coating of amides and fluoroplastics, in 10cm. thick?

    2)No one has written in the comments that all "Archangels", "Drones", "Valkyries", "Blackbirds", "Concords", "Super Sonic", "Sotki" are single-mode aircraft. Those. they have a flight and more or less economical (if you can call it an aircraft where 70% of the load is fuel) - only one speed range! It was not possible to create a flying multi-mode high-speed aircraft, not a single consortium is likely to succeed. wink

    3) Research on the design of planes and airframes can take tens of years. We did the same for Sotku and the object “Two hundred”, “Lapotok”. Moreover, neither Boeing, Lockheed, NASA, nor RosKosmos, MAP, and MiG are eager to share the backlog of practical calculations and purges. Many of these materials are still state-owned. secret of the USA, RF, Kazakhstan! WITHmaking apparatus with planes with transformers is the number one difficulty. Even "Spiral" and "Bor" were vehicles with one flight mode. Albeit with a variable angle of installation of planes for re-centering the shuttle. Who does not believe watches how all the Aerospace Forces including "Buran" flew and landed in the atmosphere.

    4) Bullshit with 3 types of remote control - know-how! As it will switch, without a subsidence of the aircraft on the flight level and pitch, the fuel system of this pregnant mammoth is simply terrible. All who are interested will remember a couple (at least) of serious emergency situations during tests with aircraft with add. Rocket engine. Already a fuel explosion, on a plane with a liquid propellant rocket engine at the tester Vasin - everyone probably knows this. Just do not have to troll - the scoops were all stupid and bad.

    5) All engines have different pressures of hydrogen in the main lines, the highest for the liquid-propellant engine and the lowest for the scramjet engine. How are these boobies going to compensate for the pressure surges in the lines after the hydrogen booster pumps? A HZ! How to control pitches during fuel production? Indeed, in the present. Aircrafts - they pump fuel through ballast tanks, but here what to pump? How to control thrust throttling in such a heterogeneous package of engines !? Let's say you sit down and you need to switch from a scramjet engine to a turbojet engine? If it were liquid-propellant rocket engines, then besides the excessive consumption of fuel, at low gas - yes, figs would be with them. But before the start of the turbojet engine, it is necessary for the electronics to open the shields in the air intake duct, spin the compressor and feed it to the NVD and the afterburner stage, special. fuel. And at the same time to avoid surging (which was more than once in the case of amers) and spontaneous combustion of fuel. And then the plane also drops its flight speed. The clever, mighty heads of the USSR did not bring a turbojet engine running on hydrogen vapor to the "50 -50" - why did the little firms sculpt what they got instead of the shuttles? Who does not believe reads about Myasischev M.19 - a shuttle with booster LRE and marching NRE.

    6) Have the French women thought about the safety of passengers? Few of those who burned out in the "Concorde" by their foolishness and hands from the ass of American technicians? They will order spacesuits and PPKs in the Russian Federation, half a year before the flight? And take in flight only the past VLK? Fuck you fools. And the runway, whatever it rolls out, this miracle will be built in the deserts, 15 km each. long and without bends of the strip in height. It would be better to tell what glide path and landing pitch angle their "miracle wunder" will have, and if a repeated circle? That knocks out the glass in the area 360 km.!

    7) Calculations that a vertical start will tailor, for this aircraft over and hypersonic impact - just laughter. Practice shows the opposite. And counting on the fact that the altitude of the flight level of the aircraft to protect people from its impact can only be a sucker who is not familiar with the history of hypersonic flights and an Airbus marketer! Any student knows. that a hypersonic strike during the acceleration of American aircraft was felt even from a distance of 40 km.! This is at a flight level of 17 - 22 km, and the memorable flight of the X-15 was seen and heard in half of the United States. And here in the air there will be a pot-bellied cow many times larger than the "Archangel". laughing am
