Russia has begun developing a new supersonic passenger aircraft — a technology demonstrator. This was announced by the scientific director of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Sergei Chernyshev.
According to him, the demonstrator will allow testing flight modes (takeoff, landing, overcoming the sound barrier) for the development of a future passenger aircraft that will be able to cover the distance from Moscow to Vladivostok in two to three hours.
It is assumed that the civil supersonic aircraft will fly at a cruising speed corresponding to Mach 1.8, which at an altitude of 14–16 km will be approximately 2,200 km/h. Most of the technologies within the project have been worked out at the level of digital modeling and ground experiments. Including by blowing reduced models of the aircraft in wind tunnels.
Chernyshev clarified that the project is being implemented with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade as part of a cooperation of scientific and educational organizations.
