Hypermach Sonicstar Mach 3.5 business jet for 2021 will leverage superconducting technology
The SonicStar supersonic business jet concept was unveiled at the 2011 Paris Air Show It will cruise at mach 3.5 by leveraging superconductors to achieve 70% more efficiency. The aircraft will have a cruise fuel efficiency below 1.05 lbs. of fuel, per pound of thrust, per hour at Mach 3.5. Jet-A, JP-4 and JP-7 fuel capable, the jet can carry 75,000 lb. of fuel providing a range of 6,000 nautical miles. The SonicStar's will enhance efficiency with its aerodynamic double delta supersonic laminar flow wing design. To reduce skin friction, the titanium structure wings feature carbon composite structural skins and panels, and titanium nickel-cobalt alloy leading and trailing edges, while the tail section has high temperature composite skins and titanium alloyed leading edges.
SonicBlue vision is the development of revolutionary engine design to fundamentally change the way aero gas-turbine engines operate in order to significantly improve the performance of aircraft systems.
* Hybrid engine technology developed to offer a highly efficient, supersonic, variable bypass fan ratio engine design.
* The engine operates electrically by generating a large amount of on-board electric power through its superconducting electric turbine ring generator system.
* Engine produces sufficient power to operate the multi-stage counter rotating, superconducting, dual ring motor electric bypass fans and superconducting electric ring motor axial compressor, power generation and thrust comes from 5-stage superconducting axial turbine.
* The 54,700 thrust class S-MAGJET engine (two engines) described is optimized to fly the HyperMach SonicStar aircraft at 62,000 ft, at a specific fuel consumption below 1.05 at Mach 3.3, this performance will be unprecedented and will welcome in a new era of the future of aerospace transport.
* Electrical generation is provided by superconducting ring generators that are powered by the high velocity exhaust thrust from the combustor section of the engine

* Electrical generation is provided by superconducting ring generators that are powered by the high velocity exhaust thrust from the combustor section of the engine
* the bypass fan is a twin fan system in which one fan counter rotates with the other fan, which reduces aerodynamic swirl and drag.
* The bypass fan configuration is not constrained by a drive shaft, heavy gears and complex gear boxes, nor complex lubrication systems and it can be run at an optimal rotational speed so as to maximize its efficiency at any aircraft velocity, or altitude.
* The bypass fans running independently from the compressor can be run at much slower speeds than the compressor, this means a more efficient RPM for the fan blade design of the S-MAGJET, a low bypass fan supersonic engine design.
* Lower operating RPM speeds afford the use of wider blades, raising aerodynamic efficiency and thrust per horsepower, making the engine architecture greatly more efficient than the current art of engine designs.
* Light weight superconducting ring motors with integrated cooling for the compressor do not require a drive shaft, nor the bypass fans or the superconducting ring generators of the power turbine, a “hollow-core shaftles” tunnel is left in the center of the hybrid electric turbine which now carries additional bypass air.
* Bypass air as the major component of thrust, rather than the hot exhaust from the power turbine being utilized as thrust is a more efficient method of producing thrust for propulsion in turbines.
* Supersonic-Magnetic Advanced Generation Jet Electric Turbine (S-MAGJET), the majority of electric power produced off the power turbine via the superconducting ring generators is directed forward through a proprietary electric power management system to run the electric bypass fans and the electric compressor.
This electrical independence of the bypass fan from the multi-stage axial compressor raises overall efficiency of the engine by 70% alone.

بسرعة تفوق سرعة الصوت بثلاث مرات : طائرة تستطيع الطيران من القاهرة إلى الرياض في ثلث ساعة فقط!!
في عصر السرعة أصبحت طائرات الركاب الحالية مشكلةً كبيرةً لكثير من الأشخاص الذين يرغبون في الانتقال بسرعة من بلد لآخر، لذا كشفت شركة Hypermach عن طائرة ركاب خارقة ستجعل كوكبنا أصغر بكثير مما نراه الآن
فبهذه الطائرة المدهشة التي تحمل اسم سونيك ستار SonicStar ستكون قادراً على الطيران من القاهرة إلى الرياض في ثلث ساعة فقط، ومن عمّان إلى الرباط في 45 دقيقة، أو يمكنك أن تذهب من أقصى الوطن العربي إلى أقصاه في ساعة ونصف!!
ستطير سونيك ستار بسرعة قصوى تبلغ 4,200 كيلومتر في الساعة (أي 1 كيلومتر في الثانية!!)، أي ضعف سرعة طائرة الكونكورد التي تعد أسرع طائرة ركاب في العالم. والمميز في هذه الطائرة ليس سرعتها فقط بل مستوى طيرانها الذي سيصل لارتفاع 19 كيلومتر ليستطيع الركاب الاستمتاع بمشاهدة استدارة الكرة الأرضية خلال رحلتهم القصيرة!!
ستطير سونيك ستار بسرعة قصوى تبلغ 4,200 كيلومتر في الساعة (أي 1 كيلومتر في الثانية!!)، أي ضعف سرعة طائرة الكونكورد التي تعد أسرع طائرة ركاب في العالم. والمميز في هذه الطائرة ليس سرعتها فقط بل مستوى طيرانها الذي سيصل لارتفاع 19 كيلومتر ليستطيع الركاب الاستمتاع بمشاهدة استدارة الكرة الأرضية خلال رحلتهم القصيرة!!
تم الكشف عن سونيك ستار يوم الاثنين قبل الماضي في معرض باريس للطيران، ويتوقع أن يكون سعرها في حدود الـ80 مليون دولار. وقد حصلت شركة Hypermach على تمويل لهذا المشروع من وزارة التجارة والصناعة في بريطانيا، ويتوقع مسؤولو الشركة أن يبدأ استخدام الطائرة بصورة تجارية خلال 10 أعوام في العام 2021.
ستعمل الطائرة بمحرك S-MAGJET الهجين الموفر للطاقة والصديق للبيئة، وستتسع الطائرة الجديدة لـ20 راكباً. ومع هذا العدد الضئيل جداً من الركاب يمكنكم توقع ما تحويه الطائرة داخلها من رفاهية وفخامة كبيرة
يبلغ طول الطائرة 64 متر ويبلغ مداها 11,112 كيلومتر، وستبلغ سرعتها القصوى ماخ 3.6 (أي 1 كيلومتر في الثانية!!).
وهذا الفيديو للإعلان الرسمي عن الطائرة:
ستأتي لخلافة طائرة الكونكورد التي كانت تعد أسرع طائرة ركاب في العالم، والتي تم إيقافها عن الخدمة منذ ثمانية أعوام بسبب ارتفاع تكاليف تشغيلها وقلة الطلب عليها كما ذكرت شركة إير فرانس المملوكة للخطوط الجوية الفرنسية. لكن السبب الرئيسي وراء ذلك كان حادث تحطم الكونكورد في عام 2000 عندما سقطت الطائرة على فندق بالقرب من مطار شارل ديغول في فرنسا فقتل 109 شخص (كل من على متنها) و4 كانوا في الفندق الذي سقطت عليه، ما اضطر الشركة لزيادة إجراءات الأمان فارتفعت التكلفة بالمقابل لدرجة جعلت الناس تحجم عن استخدام هذه الطائرة.
