Yliäänimatkustajakoneet
Yliäänimatkustajakoneet, or supersonic passenger aircraft, are aircraft designed to fly faster than the speed of sound, typically defined as Mach 1 (approximately 1,225 kilometers per hour or 760 miles per hour at sea level). The concept of supersonic passenger flight has been explored since the 1950s, with several experimental and prototype aircraft developed throughout the years.
One of the most notable supersonic passenger aircraft is the Concorde, a joint venture between France and
Other supersonic passenger aircraft concepts include the Soviet Tupolev Tu-144, which made its first flight in
The primary challenges in developing supersonic passenger aircraft include high fuel consumption, significant noise pollution, and
Despite these challenges, there is ongoing interest and research in the field of supersonic passenger flight.
