Good old days of Concorde are gone, and now we are all convinced that without making profit, even the greatest engineering masterpieces are nothing more than, well, great masterpieces.
Ever Since the shuttle program was announced finished, people are waiting to see what is the next big thing. In fact any exciting project that we have had in this industry, has soon come to an end.
But if you think this is the end of the sky story, or if you think it will always stay the same, think again.
This picture are from Airbus website. What you will not see in them is a sign of repetitive ideas.
This project is called Eco-Climb. Imagine you sit on your seats, ready for the take-off, and then a machine launches you up towards the sky. Now I know that the whole idea sounds strange, or even impractical. but there are things that make it a very good idea. Like the runways will be shorter, the take-off is faster, and most importantly, "propelled acceleration will allow for steeper climb from airports to minimise noise and reach efficient cruise altitudes more quickly" says the Airbus website.
But it is not all. they are also working on other things that can be revolutionary. The ideas like gliding, safely of course. This is said to decrease the amount of emissions, as well as being less noisy.
These aside we all want to see what will the air-crafts look like.
Well there are many possibilities, but just to give you a taste of it, watch this video.
