Race to build the descendants of Concorde
Boeing, Gulfstream and Lockheed Martin have joined forces with the US Aerospace Industries (NASA) to build a super-jet capable of completing the four-hour journey from London to Sydney.
Boeing, Gulfstream and Lockheed Martin have joined forces with the US Aerospace Industries (NASA) to build a super-jet capable of completing the four-hour journey from London to Sydney.
America's top three celebrity aviators will unveil prototype descendants of Concorde at the Farnborough exhibition next month, according to the Daily Mail.
Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Gulfstream are leading the race to build a new super jet to replace the most successful supersonic passenger aircraft.
All three are confident that they are close to the possibility of launching new super-jet aircraft, according to an engineer at Gulfstream.
Lightweight, more modern engines and compact fuselages can help the descendants of the Concorde (a top speed of 2,140km / h) fly twice as fast, according to the Sunday Times.
Passengers will travel at a speed of about 4,000km / h.
The ultramodern jet, the Gulfstream's G650, can complete the 11,200km mileage with a top speed of up to 1,126km / h.
However, the successor to the G650, X-54, will prove that the aircraft can still be made to " low sonic boom," according to Aviation Week & Space Technology.
The horrendous surge of ultrasound speeds forced Concorde to stay away from the mainland and ruin the opportunities for commercialization.
Concorde last flew in November 2003.
