Talk:High Speed Civil Transport

Current Project?
I'm sort of concerned that there's no cited evidence for this being a current project, but the article is written in the present tense.- (User) WolfKeeper (Talk) 03:32, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Others have expressed the same concerns on WT:AIR. You're welcome to clean it up if you get to it first. You may have a better idea of where to go with the page too, given your contributions to Concorde (Look, Ma, no "the"!) and other high-speed propulsion-related articles. - BillCJ (talk) 04:53, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

concorde nomenclature
FWIW I have not got the slightest intention of enforcing it either way in anything other than UK articles, but I note that there is precedent for referring to (a/the) Concorde with the British convention as simply 'Concorde'. :-)- (User) WolfKeeper (Talk) 11:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

A couple of aspects of HSCT/HSR not mentioned in the article but important to note were that the project also addressed the environmental issues that the Concorde and TU-144 did not - namely engine noise, Concorde made a hell of racket taking off compared to subsonic airliners (TU-144 did too, but in the Soviet Union noise complaints by the general population probably weren't a big concern), and emissions. Fortunately Concorde was a bust financially so there were only a handful built, but flying up there in the stratosphere, NOx emitted from gas turbine engines participate in autocatalytic reactions to deplete our friend the ozone layer. HSCT/HSR engineers (including this one) worked long and hard to reduce NOx emissions to acceptable levels (as defined by independent climatologists). This was important since the U.S. envisioned a successful project involving 100s of SSTs. Jmdeur (talk) 20:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
