Rolls Royce Participates In The Production Of The Supersonic Jet Aircraft
British Rolls-Royce Company
was also involved in the production of the supersonic jet aircraft called
"Boom", also known as Concorde's heir.
Concorde, the first
supersonic commercial aircraft to be manufactured with the support of
England and France, made its first flight in 1969. Concorde, which could
fly faster than the sound, could not be taken off again due to the misfortunes
that occurred later.
Today, works are being
carried out for the supersonic jet aircraft called
"Boom", also known as Concorde's heir. The speed of the new supersonic
jet will reach 2,300 kilometers per hour. This figure is almost twice the
speed of sound.
In this way, the new
supersonic jet, which aims to shorten travel times, will reduce the 9-hour
flight between New York and London to 3.5 hours today.
It was announced that the
UK-based Rolls-Royce will also be involved in the production of the jet, which
will be produced by the Boom Supersonic Company and is currently in the R&D
stage. According to the news in the British press, Rolls-Royce will
produce the propulsion systems of the aircraft.
There is no official
explanation as to when the supersonic model will be ready for use
yet. However, when the flight starts, it is estimated that the ticket
price will be in the band of 2 thousand pounds.
