ah right :)

"My" businessjet is owned by a corporation and "they" (the board) consider it very efficient. We do things you simply can´t with airlines in a certain time frame. We go places where no airline flies to. And our our homebase has 2 daily connections to the capital and thats it.

They consider it also as expensive.

Just been watching the tail-end of a Japanese TV programme explaining the most recent results of tests they did on their joint JAXA/Swedish supersonic plane.
The Japanese Space Agency Tested a Supersonic Plane With Less Sonic Boom | Motherboard


Their main discovery was the sonic boom created by the aircraft's profile is roughly 1/4 that of Concorde.


To get the public to understand this concept, they said, imagine the clap of thunder that accompanies a very close flash of lightning. That would be the Concorde sonic boom. Then imagine the same flash of lightning some distance away and the resultant rumble of thunder, approximating the relative sound from JAXA's test frame.


Some footage of their testing concepts here, but no sound?

But, isn't their test vehicle much, much, smaller?

For the equivalent size, perhaps?

Since this is made by Airbus and not an American company, you can expect a repeat of Concorde and Boeing et al to prevent its entry to America.

Aerion is an American company, led by a Texas billionaire, and based in Reno, Nevada. The AS2 final assembly will be in a new US manufacturing facility (location to be announced next year).

Airbus is collaborating via its US-based subsidiary, Airbus Group Inc., headquartered in McNair, Virginia.

That's right, blame the lack of sales to conspiracy by it's intended customers. Not on it's most obvious commercial faults. :ok:

This is what most people around the world don't want to hear first thing in the morning:


PS: Once this thing starts waking up those nice people in Orange County, California, this plane can forget about using John Wayne Airport.

A repeat of exactly what?

The Concorde was never prevented entry into the United States.

And now crass parochialism raises its ugly head.

Wait, what? Concorde was prevented entry into America? New York, New Jersey, Washington, Las Vegas, Lexington, Atlanta, Oshkosh, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Colorado Springs, Waco, Miami, Seattle, Oakland, Boston, Fort Worth, etc etc etc are not in America? Who knew?

Well - it was banned for a couple of years
 

Except that post is wrong - Concorde service to Dulles started in May 1976, only a few months after Concorde entered commercial service. It was banned from JFK for a couple years (primarily due to noise concerns), but not from the US.
And the opposition to Concorde had nothing to do with Boeing - it was pretty much the same environmentalists that helped kill the Boeing 2707 that were against it serving JFK.:ugh:

And most wont :ok:

supersonic no more
