Remember the iconic Concorde aircraft that was released from the market in 2003? Well, it seems that very soon a new supersonic aircraft, which some have called the "Son of the Concorde", would hit the market with a novelty that has left the world open-mouthed, it could take just three hours to fly from New York to London.
Can you believe it? Three hours! The approximate time it takes for a commercial flight to cover the distance between the Big Apple and the capital of England is around seven hours. So the reduction in the trip itinerary would be more than half.
A project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) created a new airplane model called Low-Boom Flight Demonstrator (LBFD) that has managed to break the sound barrier without generating a sonic explosion, positioning it as a serious candidate to be converted on an aircraft for commercial purposes.
According to shared details of the ground-breaking program, the LBFD could reach a speed of up to 1,074 miles per hour, exceeding the 767 miles per hour at which sound travels.
In a report shared on the People magazine online site, it is also added that in 2021 NASA would expect to make the first tests of the plane and shortly afterwards commercial flights could be established.
"(The project) could open a market for US companies to have faster commercial flights, generating more jobs and reducing the time for intercontinental flights by half," said the US government, which recently approved a budget. to develop the project.
