Same rules dont apply when you are in orbit, remember in the atmosphere you would be doing supersonic speed against friction but in space normal speed as it is, is about 2000kph, so if they fire up the supersonic engines with no gravity then theoretical speeds of 10000+kph could be possible]]>Jun 29th 2010 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/Coz' it was the cheap paint available.

There is no "normal speed" in space. If you're thinking about satellites going around the planet they go that fast because they need to in order to stay in orbit. You can put more energy into them to move up to higher orbits, or ultimately escape orbit, and you can take energy away in order to drop orbit, or eventually enter or crash.

But satellites moving around have nothing to do with how airplanes traverse. On that note, there airplanes need, you guessed it, air. The engines need air to operate, and without air the wings can generate no lift. Also, the speed of sound is the magnificent number of 0 in space. Sound needs a fluid medium to travel, like air or water. No air in space = no sound. So talking about supersonic engines in space is ridiculous.

That picture shows the edge of space, but that's just conceptual art.]]>Jun 29th 2010 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/
Those engines look to be ABOVE the wing, so why do you guys say "engine-under-wing configuration?"]]>Jun 29th 2010 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/

Actually, the noise issue was fud spread by rival aircraft manufacturers (no need to name them, right?) who were trying to create their own supersonic airplanes. The concorde would only get to supersonic speeds at high altitudes, which bring no boom issues to airports or cities.]]>Jun 29th 2010 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/

I am saying we should rebuild the plane , i am saying it weird that in the 70s i could have travel from london to new york faster then i can today.

Either airbus or boeing the two biggest airspace companies
in the world really put some effort into it, they could develop a replacment that could carry more then 200 people and is more efficient. They have more experience and almost 40 years more technology to use.

As already pointed out it was not actully very noisy.
and the concorde was expenisve cause it was the first of its kind to be
developed and they where never able to sell them to other airlines.

If a real replacement was built i am sure there would be a high demand. On routes over the alantic and plastic ocean, and ticket price could end being better then concorde.]]>Jun 29th 2010 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/supersonic-green-machine-sends-greetings-from-the-future/

Chuchu Rocket!!!

A space station inhabited by ChuChus (which are little tiny mice), has been invaded by evil KapuKapus (which are giant orange cats). These cats are out for blood, and want to feast on our rodent friends. Though the ChuChus are technologically advanced enough to design a space station, they aren’t smart enough to know how to escape it, and it’s up to you to guide them to escape rockets before the KapuKapus get them.
