Hypersonic Jet Concept Could Chop Travel Times

Advertisements [?]

Researchers may give a hand to jet-setting Europeans looking for a new place to get away for the weekend. European scientists have said a flight from Europe to Sydney in under five hours could be possible in 25 years.

The A2 plane, designed by engineering company Reaction Engines based in Oxfordshire, southern England, could carry 300 passengers at a top speed of almost 4,000 mph (6,400 kmh), five times the speed of sound, engineers who designed the hypersonic jet said on Tuesday, Feb. 5.
