Boom talks about
- much lower noise than Concorde (mentioned elsewhere in this discussion). Ironically, they reduce the "boom".
- Pacific crossings. 4,900 miles range ( https://onemileatatime.com/boom-supersonic/ https://onemileatatime.com/boom-supersonic/ ) Tokyo - Seattle is about the furthest within that, at 4,777 miles. California to Hawaii is easily in range, USA to Australia is far out of range, but Brisbane to Hawaii is in range.
- Article talks about 15 planes not one.
Have they solved those yet? They're not flying yet, so no. But that's what they're aiming at.
- dehrmann 5y ago> Tokyo - Seattle is about the furthest within that There's about the shortest viable route I can imagine. I could see refueling stops being a thing, though. SFO-SIN is a pretty long flight, so an hour to refuel in Tokyo wouldn't be so bad.
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y ago> There's about the shortest viable route I can imagine Right, this (Tokyo - Seattle) seems like a minimum viable Pacific crossing. San Francisco to Tokyo is 5,133 miles, so it is out of range. How about San Francisco to Hawaii, Hawaii to Tokyo, and Tokyo to Singapore. ;)
