Passenger aircraft fly as fast as five times the speed of sound

Passenger aircraft designed at five times the speed of sound can become a reality near the end of this century.

The new system, dubbed 'part of Ark Royal' in the sky, could help Britain lead the way in aerospace innovation into the future, according to a report by the British Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IME). hybrid.

The aircraft uses a NASA static-electric jet engine
in the fastest aircraft today.

According to this report, by 2075 and later years, the UK could make significant progress in the area of aircraft design. Among those targets, notably the manufacture of Scramjet aircraft, which can fly at 4,000 miles per hour - five times the speed sound - and is designed in a V shape to save energy by using the airflow generated in front of the aircraft. Scramjet aircraft contain engines that burn fuel and inhibit incoming air to produce speed and thrust.

In addition, the scientists discussed the design with the main part of the wing and the engine turning into one, inside building a 'flying fuel station' which made it unnecessary for the aircraft to have barrels filled. fuel that still take off.

Stephen Tetlow, managing director of the IME, said in just 20 years, sales will be set with 25,000 new aircraft worth more than 2,000 billion pounds.

"The UK aerospace industry contributes over £ 29 billion to the national economy every year, and we need to act now to ensure a strong development in this area ," Tetlow said.

'Britain's aerospace technology is full of potential, but in order to compete with other nations, we need to set a strategic vision, set up a specialized aeronautical research agency and seek funding in the context of the economic downturn , "he added.
