The vehicle design was intended to have about 20,000 kilometres (11,000 nautical miles) range and good subsonic and supersonic speed fuel efficiency, thus avoiding the problems inherent in earlier supersonic aircraft. The top speed is projected to be Mach 5+.
The LAPCAT A2 concept in the upper atmosphere. One possible supersonic transport aircraft being researched as part of this project is the A2 by Reaction Engines Limited. [7] The researchers are looking at an aircraft capable of flying from Brussels (Belgium) to Sydney (Australia) in 2–4 hours, [8] significantly reducing journey times across ...
The LAPCAT A2 would be capable of flying, non-stop, halfway around the world at hypersonic speed (Mach 5+). [21] The engine, SCIMITAR, has precooler technology which is somewhat similar to SABRE, but does not have the rocket features, and was optimized for higher efficiency for atmospheric flight.
Airbus expects the hypersonic jet to reach speeds as high as Mach 4.5 -- or four and half times the speed of sound. Airbus patented a jet that could fly from London to NY in 1 hour Skip to main ...
A Chinese aerospace firm has completed the first test flight of a passenger plane that it claims can fly at Mach 4 – more than twice the speed of Concorde. Beijing-based Space Transportation ...
The transonic speed range is that range of speeds within which the airflow over different parts of an aircraft is between subsonic and supersonic. So the regime of flight from Mcrit up to Mach 1.3 is called the transonic range. [citation needed] Northrop X-4 Bantam (Mach 0.9) — Supersonic [1.2–5)
The company’s vision of hypersonic flight (meaning speeds faster than Mach 5) isn’t one reserved for clandestine spy missions, however. That’s because Hermeus wants to bring hypersonic ...
The first manufactured object to achieve hypersonic flight was the two-stage Bumper rocket, consisting of a WAC Corporal second stage set on top of a V-2 first stage. In February 1949, at White Sands, the rocket reached a speed of 8,290 km/h (5,150 mph), or about Mach 6.7. [1]
