If there's one sector that hasn't evolved much over the past 30 years, it's commercial air transport. Supersonic commercial flights were briefly considered a new frontier but were sidelined due to their high costs and safety concerns. While aircraft have improved, the market has become more competitive, and most airlines struggle with profitability and limited growth opportunities. However, this is changing, with several new possibilities under development, notably low-orbit flights. But today, we're discussing a lesser-known yet profoundly intriguing alternative that promises to disrupt this market. Moreover, it's an option that could arrive much sooner than low-orbit flights due to lower risks and matured technology. This approach is based on supercavitation: Supercavitation is a technique allowing objects to travel at high speeds underwater by significantly reducing hydrodynamic resistance. It works by creating a bubble of gas or vapor around the object, often ejected from the front at high pressure. This bubble envelops the object, minimizing direct water contact and friction. As a result, the object moves much faster, as water resistance is virtually eliminated. This enables the creation of submarines capable of reaching supersonic speeds, making them highly efficient for long-distance passenger and freight transport. As always, we'll explore the potential this represents and discuss an investment strategy to position oneself in this promising market, alongside comparing it with the long-haul air transport market and evaluating the impact this new solution could have on it.
