Sounds like a dream that's too good to be true especially for those who often travel by airplane.
But passengers across the Atlantic can be greatly cut short, thanks to a new line of ciipersonics expected to be put to work, foreign media are quoted as writing.
A Texas airspace company called Venus Aerospace is working on a plane called Stargazer, as well as on the engine that will empower it.
Stargazer will be a cyberpersonic which means he can travel several times the speed of sound and will also fly higher than other planes.
And if commercial travel is put into operation, the $33 million plane can complete its journey of about 5050 miles [5550 km] from London to New York in less than an hour rather than the Concorde (about 2179 km).
If a comparison is made, for example, on a Pristina-Cyrrich flight trip, where today's flight length is approximately two hours, covering a distance of about 1,18km, he could reach his destination for about 10 minutes on average.
As foreign media announce, at an event in Bentonville, Arkansas last week, Venus Aerospace debuted the engine that will power its Stargazer plane through the skies.
His name is Venus Detonation Ramjet 2000 Ib Trust Engineering, also known as VDR2.
Andrew. Dugleby, a cofounder of Venus Aerospace, said the engine would enable a revolution in high-speed flight.
According to Venus Aerospace, VDR2 can reach speeds of 6 Mach or six times the speed of sound - some 7400 km/h.
That would officially make it a personic, which is the level above ésupersonics.
Venus Aerospace has already published conceptual images of Stargazer, but it is unclear how close is the construction of a prototype of equivalent size.
If Stargazer is realised, it will be the first commercial passenger plane to move faster than the speed of sound since Concordia.
The retirement “dals” more than 20 years ago, the Concorde flew to a maximum height of 18,000 feet.
Besides the high speed, according to Venus Aerospace, its next plane will fly higher than 33,000 feet.
Venus Aerospace is working with Ohio company Velontra, which offers hypersonic weapons technology to bring the plane “to life”. /Telegraphy/
