To make Concorde (and to some extent the TU-144s) work we should add Supersonic demand. This is a 4th demand bar in market research, and it's worked out by dividing the daily Y passengers by daily C passengers and multiplying by F passengers. For example, the Supersonic demand from LHR- Hong Kong would be rougly 201 passengers. (1205/168*28=200.8)

 

Thoughts?

Nope. Everyone wants to fly supersonic so it's demand should be higher!

If you can come up with a better way to calculate it, then hit me with it.

You sure about that? Maybe there are flyers who don't trust a can with wings going 1400 mph. Besides, not a lot of people flew on the Concorde anyway because the prices for that thing were through the roof! I find Tristar's calculation to be totally reasonable.

Also, in AE4 there will reportedly be Economy Comfort/Plus/Premium demand, so supersonic would be a fifth slot.

cool

I don't know. We're moving a bit fast with AE.

If _real_ connecting pax is implemented, demand would have been a function of travel time instead of distance.
And as I mentioned before, market should haven't been modeled as single entity instead of segmented by artificial classes.
