Initial research pathway. Description of the Boom Overture aircraft

Chronological Order

1. Steven watched YouTube videos of the Overture aircraft to better understand the intended purpose and future expectations of the aircraft.

2. Steven visited the website of the Manufacturer (Boom Supersonic) to find the functional specifications of the aircraft.

3. Brenda used open Google search and gathered information from the company website and Wikipedia to find the features of the aircraft that allowed it to perform at its functional specifications.

4. Steven utilized a gAI (Concensus) to find research papers on how the overture's design profile allows the aircraft to achieve its top speed. Prompt: Provide resources that can explain how the design profile of an aircraft can allow it to fly at supersonic speeds.

Introduction letter

  Subject: Introduction and Aspirations for UCS1001-Critical Thinking and Communicating   Dear Professor Blackstone,   I hope this letter finds you well, my name is Steven Wee, and I am writing to formerly introduce myself as a student in your module on Critical Thinking and Communicating. My journey in Engineering began in Polytechnic with an passion for cars and the automotive industry. Throughout my course of study in Polytechnique, my passion had evolved and sooner or later, it had evolved to one for Arms Manufacturing during my time in National Service after my graduation from Polytechnique.   However, despite the change in interest, there were some notable strengths that I had developed during my course of study, that being the ability in communicating thoughts and other ideas. This skill proved effective, especially when undertaking engineering projects or other group projects. However, I must admit that this focus on factual communication often leads me to ov...

Summary draft 2

In order to pick up where the famous Concorde left off, the Boom Overture aircraft features a swept back delta wing and feuselage design profile that allows the aircraft to achieve a cruising speed of Mach 1.7 (2100 km/h). the Overture has an estimated wingspan of 52 meters in length and 18 meters in width. In terms of the wing design, (Singh & Dwivedi, 2022), described through their experiments that an aircraft with a swept back delta wing design yielded a better lift to drag ratio as compared to the standard delta wing design. Another advantage of having swept back delta wing design, as described by Pierre Sartre, where he analysed the Overtures predecessor, the Concorde, concluded that its swept delta wing design not only allows for supersonic travel, but also allows for better low speed controllability of the aircraft (Sartre, 1973). Other design features of the Overture such as the nonaxisymmetrical feuselage also aids it in achieving its top speed. According to   (Makino,...
