Hypersound is not the limit: Charles Bombardier and its unique supersonic aircraft

 

The information that the world-famous designer and inventor intends to start work on the design of a unique supersonic aircraft appeared at the end of last year, however, only the day before it became known that after the simulation, work on the development of a unique passenger aircraft may begin in the middle of this year.

 

Bombardeir Antipod (concept)

 

According to the first officially published data, it became known that initially the aircraft will be an exclusively administrative aircraft, allowing up to 10 passengers to be accommodated on board. In turn, Charles Bombardier did not rule out that if this project succeeds, then in the future work will begin on a full-fledged airliner capable of transporting up to 50-70 people between different remote points of the globe. Experts believe that the transportation of the specified number of passengers is the best option, since based on the flight characteristics of the future project, it follows that the flight from London to New York will take only 11 minutes, that is, in fact, air carriers can receive this aircraft make 2-3 flights per hour, thereby adjusting to passengers, and not vice versa.

 

The concept version of the Bombardier Antipod

 

According to the initial design studies, a unique supersonic aircraft will be able to accelerate to a speed of 30 thousand kilometers per hour, without any threat to its condition and passengers, while acceleration will be carried out for only a few minutes and with a very smooth acceleration, which in turn, it will avoid congestion for passengers. Nevertheless, Charles Bombardier did not specify what kind of fuel the aircraft will use, however, apparently, in addition to the usual aviation, a special oxidizer can also be used, which will be able to accelerate the aircraft to extremely high speeds, which, according to experts, can lead to a significant increase in the cost of operating this type of hypersonic aircraft.

Be that as it may, if the hopes of Charles Bombardier correct, then it is likely the aircraft of this type will make its first flight by the 2025 year.
