London to New York in 3 Hours!

Making faster means of transportation is what the human race has mastered over the last century. Just a hundred years ago in 1915 it would take nearly three months for people to “pop across the pond”, but today its a matter of a single day’s flight. Not everyone is happy with the 17 hour long flight that currently runs between the two cities and naturally there are always plans to make the trip last for a lesser time.

A Boston based company called Spike Aerospace is currently testing a design for a Supersonic Aeroplane that may be able to deliver a load of twenty people from London to New York in just about three hours. The plans for the S-512 Supersonic Jet were officially announced way back in 2013. The design has since then been undergoing constant updates to make it safer and feasible.

The aeroplane is likely to have the ability to travel at Mach 1.8 speed which is 1.8 times faster than the speed of sound. Needless to say it would be much faster than the Jumbo Jet which currently plies at a sedate Mach 0.92.  That it is possible to achieve the speed is already proved by the F-18 Hornet, a military fighter jet, however when the science project culminates and this plane is built will be the fastest commercial carrier.
