Aircraft Industry Next Step.

Aircraft Industry Next Step.

We have already reviewed how the Airbus A380 will be effective in the airport infrastructure and construction Industry. Unfortunately, it can also affect the local real estate market. Another news about the airplane industry can interest everyone connected with the construction and real estate market.

Nasa and Lockheed Martin realized the new X59 SuperSonic aircraft. It is not as big a monster as Boeing777-9 (251'9" long x 76'wide longest aircraft in the world), this one only 99'7" long x 29'5" wide, will only carry 65-88 passengers versus 426 passengers carry Boeing 777-9. However, this small aircraft will change not only the aircraft industry but also will be effective in constructing airport infrastructure and the real estate market. Why?

Commercial Supersonic Airplane producers expect Boom Supersonic will have 10% better energy efficiency than a current airplane and be totally carbon neutral. Also, this new aircraft will be able to drink synthetic fuel. This factor will not be effective in the airport infrastructure, aircraft engineers expect. But the accurate picture we will see a little later.

In the beginning, aircraft will have only two lines of seats for 65-88 passengers (with a price close to 10.000$ for each ticket😊)), but this will probably be enough to decrease first and little bit business-class passenger traffic in the regular flights. Will this factor be effective in the business class (or others) ticket price? Do not expect😊))

Boeing 777-9 has roughly 560mph (905km/h) and Boom Supersonic 990mph(1590km/h). This WILL BE a MAJOR factor for every potential passenger, and I expect all airline operators will request a preflight health condition test. People with high blood pressure or other complex diseases – will be in the big rescue group and possibly be excluded from "hypersonic flight". Airline operators will control it very strongly. So, should we expect a medical exam room in each terminal where Boom Supersonic will be operated? Definitely - yes. The problem will not only be with inside air pressure, and all potential passengers can expect the same problem with soundproofing inside the aircraft. Nobody is yet sure if every passenger will be able to handle it. This factor also will be subject to additional regulation ICAO and FAA.

Each airport, for operating Boom Supersonic, must fix a problem with soundproofing its facilities and all the villages/cities around it. Yes, the Boom Supersonic engineer declared that this aircraft will produce much less noise than CONCORDE. But we can be sure there will be many new problems right after Boom Super Sonic starts operating. Every airport's neighboring community will start blaming the airport for more noise than usual, and a couple hundred court cases will also be a significant factor in new regulations. As a result, many terminals or airport facilities will be totally remodeled for better soundproofing, and each airport neighborhood will also be under a local government and federal government program for better residential soundproofing. More construction!

The Super Sonic project was started in 2014, the design was started in 2016, and the first aircraft test flight will be in 2024. In 2024, it will also begin Boom Sonic Superfactory construction, which will be 62 acres of land located in North Carolina. The factory will be place for 20240 workers. In 2026, the factory must start assembling the first aircraft.

The first commercial flight is expected from 2029 to 2030. So, by this time, airport infrastructure and passenger terminals must be ready.

Of course, passengers will be ready to fly much earlier, but not everyone. Flight time from NY-London will be only 3,5 hours. Competitors even announced a NY-London flight time of 90 mn, but they did not announce how many passengers would be dead during this flight😊))

How will it be effective in the local real estate market? Sure will. I'm not a prominent specialist in real estate sales, but whatever the SUPERSONIC producer said, the area around airports will be much noisier, mainly because this aircraft has a boom effect. Even with new technology, new aircraft will make much more noise than regular aircraft produce now. As a result, we can expect the residential market in this area to change a lot! Some properties will be rezoned and modified for commercial/industrial use areas, and residents who can afford more quiet zones will probably be moving out. Follow its many businesses that follow the residential market will also expect some complications. Schools, hospitals, or other public facilities and institutions will not be allowed to be under the boom effect area. So, let's wait – this aircraft can change the airplane industry totally….and all around!
