The Reaction Engines Limited LAPCAT Configuration A2 (called the LAPCAT A2) is a design study for a hypersonic speed jet airliner intended to provide long range, high capacity commercial transportation.
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 ...
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]
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 ...
The hypersonic engine for Quarterhorse joins similar initiatives to unlock the era of hypersonic flight, including the Air Force’s Project Mayhem, which hopes to deliver a hypersonic bomber in ...
On 5 February 2008, the company announced it had designed a passenger plane to the concept stage. The LAPCAT A2 would be capable of flying, non-stop, halfway around the world at hypersonic speed (Mach 5+).
The subsonic speed range is that range of speeds within which, all of the airflow over an aircraft is less than Mach 1. The critical Mach number (Mcrit) is lowest free stream Mach number at which airflow over any part of the aircraft first reaches Mach 1. So the subsonic speed range includes all speeds that are less than Mcrit.
