Aviation, aircraft, and aerospace engineering are complex as the market needs established strategies to formulate next-generation solutions. Thus, according to L.E.A.P., an aerospace start-up, a hybrid system of traditional and novel components will pave the way for the emerging frontiers of engineering.
“If you are tired of long waiting hours due to the traditional flights, the wait is over now. We welcome you to the new world of ‘The Next Generation of Supersonic Travel’, says Priven Reddy the founder of L.E.A.P.
Breakfast at 9.00am in London and lunch by 12.30pm in New York. Tech Mogul, Priven Reddy’s aerospace firm is aiming to bring the world closer.
Commercial and traditional air travelling is renovated by a sustainable next-generation supersonic flight to the height of the skies. A new era of aerospace is appearing on the horizon under the term “LEAP”.
LEAP is the acronym for Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion. Leap Aerospace aims to prove itself as the world’s fastest airliner and its emergence on the horizon plans to mute the sonic boom through technology enhancements.
The team working on the design of Leap Aerospace is directed to launch an aviation solution that will be useful for air surveillance, air logistics, tourism, emergency air operations, and business travel. This dynamic network of Leap Aerospace solutions aims to open up new platforms for an array of customers and communities globally.
The Leap Aerospace research & development team will also simultaneously focus on establishing the bladeless technology for secondary traverse of its the supersonic aircraft whilst inflight, as well as perfecting its engine failure safe-landing technology.
Priven Reddy the founder says, “Passenger safety is of utmost importance to us and the aircraft will feature the world’s first ever safe-landing mechanism, which in the event of a complete engine failure or malfunction, the aircraft will still safely land on ground or ocean, minimising fatalities”.
LEAP will be ready to pre-sell its aircraft to the cargo and transportation organisation by early 2022. The company has no interest currently in selling these services to the private community. Leap is working with a vision to manufacture greater models including a 2.0 aircraft series for 70 or more passengers. Leap’s unique aircraft design is crafted to embrace aerodynamics in a vastly more efficient manner for minimising the shock waves, reducing drag and increasing efficiency.
LEAP will function at twice the current airliner speeds, much greater than the speed of sound, and the passengers will spend relaxing vacations in far-off places in shorter time spans. LEAP Aerospace claims to be up to 100x quieter than a helicopter and transitions to forward flight gradually gaining speed with operational efficiency similar to a conventional airplane.
Moreover, the passenger capacity of the aircraft can be set between 65-88, along with flight operation at an altitude of 60,000 ft. As the plane aims to operate on net-zero carbon emission so it can achieve a length of 205 ft at a speed of MACH 1.9.
LEAP hypersonic Aerospace is starting up on a self-funded basis. It will offer non-stop flights from New York to London in just under 3 hours, and from Johannesburg to Beijing in +/- 3.5 hours. Moreover, LEAP says the aircraft will be ready for a commercially sustainable supersonic flight having the potential to carry 86 passengers in late 2029. LEAP is one of several supersonic aircraft currently in the planning stages.
The company also aims to minimise the complications of aircraft manufacturing. The low noise is generated with the help of small propellers for landing and take-off. The aircraft design has completed processing and now the goal is to initiate the generation of an entire prototype and complete its certifications and accreditation by the aviation organisations of Europe and the USA.
It is expected that the certification of Leap Aerospace will be completed in approximately 3 years after the establishment of the flying prototype. The company expects to undertake the first commercial flight service in 2029.
