The top speed of Concorde, one of only two supersonic passenger planes to have flown commercially, was Mach 2.04 (1,350 mph). The proposed Hermeus passenger aircraft, therefore, would beat the ...

In terms of passenger travel comparisons, the Concorde supersonic airliner traveled at Mach 2, or about 2,100 km/hour. Most of the newer generation of supersonic aircraft under development today ...

Boeing has selected mach 5.0 as the top speed for a hypersonic passenger jet because that greatly simplifies the structural materials and the propulsion. Standard titanium alloys used in aircraft and ...

By comparison, today's larger passenger planes cruise at about 600 mph ... would include outlining risks and challenges in making Mach 2+ travel possible. Boeing will lead the first team; Northop ...

The legendary aircraft, capable of Mach 2 (1,350 mph), could fly from New York to London in only three hours, compared to eight for a regular plane. Boom Supersonic aims to return Mach speeds to ...

Now the startup Venus Aerospace wants to take that to another level entirely by creating a passenger aircraft that can go not Mach 1, Mach 2… but Mach 9 — or over 6,900 miles per hour.

On a cloudy day in late March, Andrew Duggleby guided me a safe distance away from a rocket engine. We did not have to go far, maybe 50 meters, because the prototype engine designed and built by his ...

According to the company, the C949 will be able to fly at speeds of up to Mach 1.7 (1,805 km/h), slower than the Concorde, which previously flew at approximately Mach 2. However, the new aircraft ...

Boom Supersonic says its XB-1 aircraft achieved supersonic flight without an audible sonic boom on the ground below. CEO Blake Scholl hopes supersonic passenger flight will eventually be allowed ...

The state-of-the-art engine's successful Mach 4 flight (3,106 mph / 5,000 ... to be the heart of the future Yunxing supersonic passenger plane, also designed by Space Transportation.
