British engineering company has come up with an inspiring possible concept level plan/design to develop a Hypersonic Jet which can gain the speed upto 4000 mph, twice the size of present jumbo aircraft A380. Can travel twice the speed of concorde. Intended to travel at Mach 5 inside atmosphere, even enter low earth orbit.
If the above said cruising speed is achieved, then it will take less than 5 hours to reach Australia from Europe. The possible first successfull flight's planned availability will be in 25 years.
Adhu seri, When people in India are expecting Air fares to be less than 500 Rs (10 dollars) and puzzled what would be the ticket cost to travel by A380 when it is called for service by Mallya's KingFisher, i dont think it would be anywhere affordable by a normal man even in developed countries.
Above all, 25 years to develop a successfull Hypersonic Jet is just dream than real. Ayyo Ayyo.
But ok, we can agree this is a real achievement if it is successfull. Safety things need to be considered carefully, cause no one expects the same fate as concorde.
