The project was resumed in 2003, when it had been suspended due to its high costs and environmental impact. The ship could travel 5,793 kilometers per hour.

They began evidence this week of a supersonic plane, the Concordewhich could reach join londoncapital of the United Kingdom, with the United States, particularly with New York, in just one hour of flight.
The aircraft is designed by Venus Aerospace, a company dedicated to the advancement and development of hypersonic flights, which could reach an approximate speed of 5,793 kilometers per hour (the distance between both cities is 5,567 kilometers).

This week, therefore, they began with the exercises of its test phase of the world’s first aircraft with these characteristicssomething that wants to revolutionize the way we connect and travel. The objective, of course, is to reduce flight times as much as possible.

Notable difference in travel times
The radical difference lies in the number of kilometers that a commercial airplane typical can go through today, which is between 800 and 900 kilometers per hour.
Advances in mechanical engineering allow this testing phase to become a reality. Therefore, Concorde would be demonstrating viability in these supersonic flights. Himself It had been withdrawn from use in 2003, due to its high cost and also the environmental impact it generated.
But current innovations could reduce these limitations. Venus Aerospace is innovating the Venus Detonation Ramjet engine, with a thrust power of 907.1847 kilos.

The calculated time of one hour delay between London and New York too would include takeoff times, climb to the appropriate altitude, and deceleration for landing.
Likewise, the company developing the project anticipates begin its first flight tests in 2025to make hypersonic travel increasingly common and accessible, with an eye toward commercial aviation, as well as for the defense of countries.
