Supersonic: The Complete, Authorised and Uncut Interviews

Product Information

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Having watched & enjoyed the Supersonic documentary, I figured a lot of it would feel repetitive - but it really didn't. There were a few bits and comments I remember from the documentary, but it mostly felt fresh and there were definitely a few things completely new to me - and I've read tons of interviews and a bunch of books about Oasis over the years. Some of the quotes made me laugh out loud, Noel and Liam would have made a grand stand up duo. Deze boeiende blik op een band waarvan bijna iedereen wel een nummer zal herkennen, krijgt 4 sterren van mij. On top of that, in October 2021 Exosonic secured another big contract for supersonic drones, which suggests that the U.S. government takes the company seriously. Since this is interviews done for the documentary, it only covers the the period up until their second album and ends in 1996 with their Knebsworth gig. I really wish there was something like this - both documentary & book - for the later Oasis years, even when there's less magic. The later formation is the one I saw live several times and that means a lot to me personally. I also think, somewhat controversly, that Oasis didn't have one bad album, and it would be fun to cover their creation. Since then L.E.A.P. has been quietly renamed Eon but has retained its ambitious plans. The first product from the company – the nxt-1 – is supposed to use quiet sonic boom technology, have the speed of Mach 1.9, and fly at an altitude of 60,000 feet (18,000 meters).

Boom’s concept is much simpler than those of its competitors: its top speed is only Mach 1.7, and the aircraft does not have any ultra-modern features such as a windowless cabin or even a low-boom design. While this means that the Overture would only be allowed to fly over oceans, it could make up for that with a cheaper price and shorter development time. Dat Supersonic tot stand is gekomen uit transcripten van de film, is door Simon Halfon merkbaar in het boek verwerkt. Het leest alsof je meeluistert naar gesprekken die worden gevoerd met de bandleden en andere mensen die betrokken zijn geweest bij Oasis of de Gallagher broers. De twee broers komen het vaakst aan het woord, maar er is ook voldoende ruimte voor de overige gesprekspartners.Russia had countless projects to build small supersonic commercial aircraft throughout the years. It all started with the proposal to convert the MiG-25 supersonic interceptor for passenger service in the early 1960s and never stopped. Oasis are one of the biggest bands the world has ever seen. Here, in Supersonic, they tell the story of their beginnings from dive-bar hopefuls to global superstars. They themselves talk us through the pivotal moments in their phenomenal trajectory, from the day Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band, through their first crucial five years culminating at their landmark gigs at Knebworth Park in 1996 - the pinnacle of their success.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been mulling the idea of a supersonic commercial jet for quite some time, and even tested a small-scale prototype in 2005.Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic announced its entry into the market in August 2020. The aircraft will carry 19 people at an altitude of 60,000 feet (18,000 meters) and at the speed of Mach 3, the company said. This does seem like a bit of a stretch given that other supersonic transport proposals involve either smaller speeds, smaller capacities, or avoiding talking about the price. But, in September 2020, Exosonic was awarded a contract by the U.S. Air Force Presidential and Executive Airlift Directorate – the agency that runs the United States Presidential and Executive Airlift fleet.
