The “new Concorde”: tests began on the supersonic plane that will be able to connect London and New York in an hour

Started this week test level first the world’s hypersonic planeable to travel from London to New York in just one hour, promising to revolutionize travel around the world and significantly reduce the times considered normal today.

Although the air travel has transformed the way the world is connected, replacing long boat trips and traveling long distances in a few hours, this new technology would elevate the experience to another level and it would reduce times significantly.

And hypersonic plane It is a plane that is capable of flying at high speed and reaches 4,828 kilometers per hour, unlike commercial aircraft that commonly reach average speeds between 800 and 900 km/h.

Advances in mechanical engineering are opening the door to these new possibilities. In fact, The Concordehypersonic aircraft retired in 2003, it demonstrated the possibility of supersonic flight, although it included high cost and a environmental impact which hampered its stability.

As for the new aircraft, it is expected to reduce both the flight time and the inconveniences associated with its predecessors. They are being developed by Venus Aerospacewhich works on the engine Venus detonation ramjetwith a thrust power of 907.1847 kilos.

What is the “flyby anomaly” phenomenon that affects only some NASA spacecraft?

If the proposed technology is successful, it would become a reality in flights at speeds of Mach 6, that is, at about 5793 kilometers per hour, allowing you to get, for example, from London to New York in an hour, taking into account the times of departure, climb to the appropriate altitude and deceleration to land.

The company was engaged in plans to start with first flight tests in 2025, with the goal of hypersonic travel accessible to commercial and defense aircraft, opening new opportunities for tourism and the military, logistics and global business.
