Its sure that should such a passenger plane be available, it would revolutionize the way we’d think about world travel at first the stars and the world’s elite would cruise the skies at hyper-speed commuting between the major cities of the world at a whim. military has reportedly been working on developing hyper-sonic aircraft since 2004 and is teaming up with commercial companies like Airbus to make this a reality by the mid 2020’s, so perhaps it’s not quite as far off as would be thought in principal. Its likely to be a fair few years before we are able to see hyper-sonic jets darting across our skies.
Each would be seated in a private jet layout in hammock-like seats in order to minimize the discomfort caused by the high speed of the aircraft. The jet would only carry around 20 passengers. The Concorde 2 - patented in july 2015 - would be propelled to an altitude of 30,000 meters, then its wing-mounted ramjets would then push it to its cruising speed of up to mach 4.5(around 3,400 mph). Whilst the Concorde had many draw-backs and its high-speed capabilities required the passengers comfort, as well as the standard of living of those living below, whom endured constant supersonic booms, to be compromised, it still possessed a degree of speed which in today’s world of ever-crescendoing pace becomes ever more sought after.Īirbus have been making proactive steps towards bringing back high speed aircraft, and have come up with a concept which is being branded the ‘Concorde 2’: a hyper-sonic passenger jet which promises to outperform the speed of the previous Concorde (Estimates flight time from London to New York would be around 1 hour) whilst providing a high level of comfort for the passengers and maintain tranquility for the population below. Until its decommission from service in 2003, the Concorde allowed people to travel from London to New York in under 4 hours, almost cutting the flight time of normal, subsonic aircraft in half.
Hyper-sonic Flight: the future of air travelĪerospace company, Airbus - successors of Aerospatiale and BAC - Has always been known for bringing to the world the fastest passenger aircraft, the Concorde to the masses.
