The
iPhone One and Two came in 2007 and now a new version comes every year, increasing its
speed. If we talk about computers, their processors keep getting faster every
year. The train also used to run normally earlier. You have become superfast
but amidst all these things there is one thing which has not become faster as
compared to before but has become slower. And it is not that it cannot be made
faster but it has been kept slow with great care and that thing is the
airspace.
In 1967, the flight between New York
City used to take five hours and forty-three minutes and from today it takes
six hours and twenty-seven minutes on the route, that is, forty-five minutes
more than before and this has happened with every airplane, that is to say,
this is In the last fifty years, places have started moving slowly and this was
done deliberately when the first commercial airplanes were launched. So
discussions like this started happening. That if we can make them faster and
take people from one place to another, it will be a very successful idea. And to
do this, British Airways also brought a supersonic commercial plane.
But
this became a big disaster. So this whole thing happened. Why couldn't they
move faster? Before we discuss all this, understand one thing. Supersonic players are those
which move faster than the speed of sound and the speed of sound is equal to
seven hundred and sixty-seven miles. So whichever plane goes faster than this
speed will be called supersonic and the plane which goes slower will be called
subsonic. And all the commercial planes flying today are sonic planes.
So to
take people from one place to another quickly, British Airways came up with
Supersonic Places, also known as Cod, and started doing proper commercials for
them. They were run on the London to New York route. The speed of this
supersonic cone was much higher than that of a plane and it could reach New
York from London in just three hours. Now see, these plans were able to reach
the destination quickly but there were some problems in them. These used to
consume a lot of fuel and this one Mille consumed approximately forty-six point
eighty-five pounds of fuel. Whereas the normal fuel is only eighteen point
seven pounds of fuel.
But
what I mean by saying that these supersonic planes were able to travel only
fourteen miles on one gallon of fuel, whereas the normal planes were able to
travel only fourteen miles on one gallon of fuel.
The
fast-moving supersonic Corn Code plane brought by British Airways, capable of
traveling 140
miles on that much fuel, was becoming very expensive for the customers. The
tickets were very expensive. Although the target audience of British Air was
the high class people, but even the high class people were not preferring it.
It was
costing more than seven thousand five solar to travel from London to New York
and this is a huge amount considering the time. On top of that, these plans
were designed to be very compact due to their fast operation. But along with being compact,
it is also uncomfortable for the people. These fast moving supersonic planes.
Only one hundred passengers could sit in it. At the same time, we were able to
seat in more capacity than the earlier normal plans. As I told earlier also
that this is a supersonic plane, so when it travels faster than the speed of
sound, a sound is generated which is called sonic boom. You must have noticed
that when a fighter jet goes into the sky, a very loud noise is made when there
are people below on the ground.
If
heard till there, it would make the same sound as the supersonic Conn's plane.
The people of the Grand Junction on the route they used to travel had to face a
lot of noise pollution and the airlines involved in it were also suffering huge
losses. Because the number of cycles of the plane was increasing but the
revenue was decreasing. The life of any plane is not decided by this. Why how
many years does a plane last? The life span is decided in cycles.
of,
how many times he took off and landed on and average. The life of a plane is
forty-four thousand cycles.
Meaning
that he can fly forty-four thousand times and after that he retires. Now when
these supersonic planes came, a six-hour flight started taking three hours. Due
to this, the number of flights increased and as the number of flights
increased, the advantage of the plane also decreased. Now after investing so
much money, Supersonic Place was built. But even after that people were doing
it with normal fight.
Due to
money issues, the makers of these supersonic planes are not able to earn money
even if they want to. Because the casting was too much. The reason behind
bringing these supersonic planes was that people would cross the Atlantic
Question in less time. Now
crossing the Atlantic Ocean in three hours is very exciting but for that you
will have to pay seven thousand five hundred dollars. Whereas the new planes
that were providing you were able to cross the Atlantic Ocean for just two
hundred to three hundred dollars and even then were making good profits. People
preferred to go on cheap and comfortable flights instead of reaching in less
time and that is why the whole idea of supersonic plane flopped and finally
British Airways had to discontinue the Corn Code. The last time the CON code
was issued was on October 24, 2003
and since then commercial supersonic flights were completely stopped.
It is
closed till today's date, now there is one more thing in it that in today's
date we all travel. They may not be as fast as supersonic, but if they want,
they can run at a speed greater than seven hundred miles, but they are not
driven, instead they are driven at a speed inferior to five hundred to five
hundred fifty miles and so on. This is done because at this particular speed
they run in the most economical manner, meaning they consume the least fuel.
The
most important thing about any commercial plane is that it earns maximum
profit. Therefore, spending less fuel becomes the most important factor. But
along with this, its seats are also designed in such a way that maximum profit
can be earned from every passenger sitting on them.
If you
look at the seating arrangement inside an airplane, these airlines do not make
money from economy class. The real money comes from them. From business class,
I consider this to be an example of a British Airways 1777 plane. There are a total of
two passenger seats in this plane. Of its two buses, one hundred are economy,
forty are premium economy, one is first class and fourteen are seated first
class. A seat in economy class is priced at Rs 876, and a seat in premium economy
is priced at Rs 2,633.
The
price of business class is Rs. 6700 and the price of first class is Rs. 8000. So if all the seats in economy
class are sold then the total earning will be. One lakh six thousand eight
hundred seventy two and the same for premium economy class will be five thousand
three hundred twenty. Now if you compare it with economy class, then premium
economy class itself will earn equal to economy class. Whereas their number of
seats is not even half of the economy class. Now if you look at the business
class, the earning from it will be Rs. three lakh twenty two thousand seven
hundred and four. That means fourteen passengers sitting in business class.
They make more profit than the 122 passengers sitting at the back of the plane. Actually,
when the commercial space was started, there were no separate classes in the
space.
All cheats were available on the line and there was no difference between them. For him, just sitting on a plane at a particular time was a big deal in itself. Traveling by plane was so expensive that it was a luxury experience in itself. You can understand this in this way that in today's date, if someone is going to space in a spacecraft, then at a particular time, he had the status of traveling in a plane and if after some time, it is common to travel in space also. If it is done, we will see that business class, economy class, all these things will start happening there also.
