awacs Concorde X

In the year of 2030, traveling has become quite different. The Hyperloop has its service covered much of US and Europe, carring passengers to travel twice the speed of sound; Boom Technology and Boeing have also launched their new generation supersonic airliners, connecting cities across oceans (due to the FAA restriction of supersonic flight over continents). Therefore, Airbus also decides to renovate its classical Concorde to compete in this market.

The Concorde X is designed to remain the specifications unchanged with the original one 60 years ago (wingspan, seating, and droop nose). However, there are quite a few improvements:

The cockpit is redesigned into Airbus style with large screens and side yokes.
Spoilers are added in order to improve aerodynamics.
The engines are replaced by much more fuel-efficient ones, making it as twice efficient as the original.
Capable of flying across the Pacific within 6 hours.


In the year 2034, the president flew aboard a specialized version of the Concorde X, believing it to be the most efficient aircraft for swift, controlled travel. He and a small team of 20 created the s-awacs (speed Airborne Warning & Control System); the concorde X-B. the radars do four full rotations while flying over the area at mach 1.336, pinging all aircraft around.
