  3. @0xD: Spannend, dass da gleich zwei französische Postverteilfahrzeuge drauf sind, ein #AZU und ein #R4. Und das nur halbhohe Fenster des Post-AZU habe ich noch nie gesehen.

    🔴 C949: Beijing's Supersonic Jet Enters the Race

    🔸 China’s COMAC unveils C949: faster & quieter than Concorde, with 50% more range.
    🔸 Jet aims to bypass bans by reducing sonic boom with a curved body.
    🔸 Other projects: NASA’s X-59 (Mach 1.4) & Boom’s Overture (deal with 3 airlines).

    I’ve been following “Boom Supersonic” and “Tokamak Energy” on the internet for years now, and it’s great to see the breakthrough from Boom today. Hopefully Overture will be a lot nearer, and supersonic passenger flights will soon be flying again!

  8. "Concorde guzzled four times more fuel than a jumbo jet like the Boeing 747, which could also carry nearly 500 passengers (Concorde's cramped seating arrangement could carry just 100). And a round-trip ticket in the 1990s could cost as much as $10,000 — about $20,000 in today's money."

  9. Supersonic throwback. Taken on the eastbound return to LHR from JFK on a work related fam flight, captain had left his seat for a few minutes so I had an unobstructed view of the panel, Mach 2 and a shade under 56,000ft, those were the days…
