Spike Aerospace is a manufacturer of US E-origin aircraft and one of its most ambitious projects is to bring supersonic flights back into the commercial aviation market
In this case, all eyes are on the new prototype called S-512 that could fly from London to New York in less than two hours
More than one will remember the imposing Concorde, the supersonic passenger transport plane that took to the skies between 1976 and 2003
With a speed 1.6 Match speed, that is, at more than 1,900 kilometers per hour, twice that of any other active aircraft today, the distances really are shorter
Due to its fuselage, similar in design to warplanes, it is estimated that the new aircraft will be able to transport up to 18 passengers on routes of about 4,800 kilometers, such as London-New York or Dubai-Hong Kong, in just three and a half hours. .
Since the beginning of humanity, man traveled, toured and explored, over the years and as people took ownership of technology, forms of transport were and will be more efficient and above all faster every day. that tireless search for improvement that this project develops
One of the innovations that this super plane will have is that it will maintain low levels of sonic boom, one of the problems that existed with the famous concorde and that forced it to be prohibited from flying through certain territories at sonic speed, due to the loud sound that it caused.
” Spike Aerospace espera start testing of the S-512 on the next year, with the idea that the plane will be ready for commercial flights in 2028. Also, in the next ten years they plan to increase its speed to 3.2 Match (about 3,950 kilometers per hour), so the journey from London to New York could be done in just 45 minutes.
