Summary of Boom Overture aircraft.

 

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, Suzuki, Noguchi, & Yoshida, 2003), a nonaxisymmetrical fuselage design reduces drag and sonic boom in low-sonic-boom airplanes, improving performance compared to low-drag and low-sonic-boom airplanes with axisymmetrical fuselages.

Thesis: the nuanced design of the Boom Overture, an aircraft that aims to improve upon where its predecessor the Concorde left off, featuring it's swept back delta wing design and nonaxisymmetrical fuselage design demonstrates the aircraft's ability to achieve supersonic speeds. Therefore, promising to pave the way for the next generation of commercial aircraft travel.

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...
