Supersonic Aircraft will Use Rocket Engine in the Future

It is said that the first supersonic aircraft of "Zehst" will come into use in 2050, and that will be the first supersonic airplane without any pollutions. While once this aircraft used in our live, we will only take half of two hours from Paris to Tokyo.

 

We've heard that this aircraft can bear passenger capacity of 50 to 100, and before the airplane fly, we should use the original biological fuel engine to promote it, and after it get to a certain height, we'll then change to use hydrogen and oxygen rocket engine to promote it, and its height will get to 32 kilometers that more over the height now.

 

When preparing to down land, this aircraft will turn off the engine, and then slipping slowly to the ground, it will restart the original engine when we get close to the earth surface.

The European Aircraft Company will cooperate with Japanese researchers to develop this new aircraft. Using existing technology to research and develop this supersonic aircraft, and they hope to be able to develop the prototype in 2020.

 

The developer said that: "We think that all aircrafts won't make any pollution just like Zehst. They can fly in the stratosphere all the time."

 

As we know, RC gasoline engine aircrafts will produce a lot of pollutions when flying in the sky. Pollutions caused by aircraft flying in the stratosphere are mainly from the burning of fuel exhaust, such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, not burning hydrocarbons and particulate matter, nitrogen, etc. In addition, aircraft will also produce noise pollution. Condensation trail refers to the "white smoke" for the speed of flying. It is made by the water vapor in the air and exhaust fumes in the air condenses into ice crystals. Studies have found that condensation trail can form a roll cloud (a high-altitude cloud).This cloud will hinder the loss of heat radiation from the earth's surface, thereby contributing to global warming.

 

So the coming of the supersonic aircraft of "Zehst" will reduce the pollution produced by the airplane, and can also bring us a fresh environment. What's more, I also hope this model RC airplane of this mode will come soon.
