The flight from London to New York is 11 minutes
A new aircraft design could carry passengers nearly 12 times faster than the Concorde, allowing it to travel from the UK to the United States in a very short time.

Equipped with a rocket launcher, Antipode can fly to over 12,000m at 6,147mph. At this altitude, the wings will separate and return to their origin. Then, the pilot will accelerate by activating the supersonic engine to reach speeds of 20,000 km / h.

Antipode is designed as a private aircraft and can carry 10 passengers traveling around the world at super-fast speeds. Time flies from New York, USA to London, England is 11 minutes, from New York to Shanghai, China is 24 minutes and from New York to Sydney, Australia is 32 minutes.
Antipode is the new work of Canadian engineer, Charles Bombardier, following the idea of Skreemr, a supersonic aircraft that can fly at 12,348km / h using a magnetic field launcher for takeoff and acceleration. By liquid oxygen rockets.
The design of the Antipode is aimed at solving problems with the Skreemr aircraft , such as extreme temperatures due to friction with air and large explosions emitted on the ground when the plane breaks the sound barrier.
To overcome these problems, the supersonic aircraft uses an aerodynamic technique called the Long Penetration Mode (LPM) , which guides the air along the plane through the gap in the front to the wing and the wing. fly. There, the air is cooled and the noise eliminated.
However, Antipode is just an idea on the design table and there are no specific plans to make it into reality.
