With the supersonic machine, introduced, Boom promises to usher in a new era of supersonic passenger transportation and also introduced the corresponding engine.
The Supersonic Boom was introduced a few years ago Introduction plane It could be one of the first machines to bring back the days of the Concorde, the days when the London-New York trip only took about three hours. Traveling at supersonic speeds in the 21st century will not necessarily be as fast as it used to be: even Boom Supersonic does not promise that their planes can fly faster than the speed of sound over the Earth, it is only likely that this is possible. ocean, where they can travel at Mach 1.7, while Concordes (usually over water surfaces as well) have reached Mach 2. However, supersonic passenger transport can still significantly shorten the length of time spent in the air and opens up new opportunities for airlines and passengers.
On the one hand, the introduction offers a more private alternative to conventional air travel than the Concorde: despite the high speed and high consumption, it transports passengers in an environmentally friendly way. The company prepares the machine Symphony engine Designed to run on fully sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and be as cost effective as possible. Boom developed the engine in collaboration with Florida Turbine Technologies (FTT), GE Additive and StandardAero, which allows them to provide their customers with an “economically and environmentally sustainable hypersonic machine”.
Unlike other propeller-driven jet engines, the engine is equipped with a special intake manifold designed by Boom and designed to generate a lower-than-normal noise level while driving. The Symphony also has no afterburner, is very light in weight and is described as reducing aircraft operating costs by 10% due to its ease of maintenance. Boom Supersonic plans to start production of the engine in 2024 and the first flight test as part of the introduction could take place in 2027.
