Assuming noise regulations can be met, is there any reason why
a small supersonic aircraft couldn't operate private flights into those same airports? Or do supersonic airframes need longer runways for higher-speed take offs and landings?
- namibj 8y agoIt should have sufficient power reserves to work with a normal 747-style runway. And starting/landing is done subsonically anyway, as one does not want wheels outside at those speeds. I see no reason this should not work.
- sokoloff 8y agoAll of today's supersonic aircraft need runways longer than a mile. It is my belief that these projected supersonic aircraft will still likely need a mile or more. There are 19K runways in the US, the vast majority of which have a longest runway under 4000'.
