Nearly two decades after the last flight of Anglo-French Concorde, a panel of United Nations aviation experts is meeting from Monday and will consider updating a decades-old supersonic noise standard by 2025, according to meeting papers seen by Reuters.
All three countries have made climate action a political priority and want UN experts to focus on the source of the current industry emissions, people close to the International Civil Aviation Organisation discussions said. “No manufacturer can take the risk that they invest billions of dollars to design and test a new product only for it to become obsolete due to a new regulation imposed soon after it enters into service,” he said.Boom plans a North Carolina plant and has orders from United Airlines.
Aerospace companies warn that ignoring supersonics at this early stage could be a recipe for countries to go it alone. Boom says its ‘Overture’ jet would meet noise levels that already apply to subsonic planes and run fully on sustainable aviation fuel when it starts flying passengers in 2029.
Bring back Concorde….. Best aircraft I’ve EVER travelled on….I believe visitors to Manchester airport museum can actually go into a stripped version (no controls, fuel tanks etc). Wonderful.
