The World’s Fastest Supersonic Plane

(The Quiver) : Are you fade up by changing flights or from the long never-ending flight while flying to distant places? Now worry no more! You can reach your destination by flying in super speed by taking a flight in Supersonic aircraft.

 A Chinese aerospace firm Space Transportation claimed it’s working on developing an aircraft that will be used as a supersonic business jet which will only take an hour to cover the distance between Beijing and New York.

 Space Transportation last year said it has raised $46.3 million for its supersonic space plane, which it further claims will travel at about 2,600 mph. This jet is reported to be six times faster than the commercial aircrafts. The company also said it recently conducted successful test flights on rockets, called Tianxing 1 and Tianxing 2 . As per sources, the ‘winged rocket’ is believed to have lower operational costs. 

Space Transportation plans to conduct ground tests by 2023 before carrying out its first test flight in 2024. If development proceeds on track, it would have a crewed test flight in 2025. As per officials during a CGI presentation, the passengers were seen boarding the aircraft that is attached to a glider wing with two rocket boosters. The airplane then detaches from the wing after takeoff and flies through suborbital space. The wing and boosters will then land back on the launch pad, while the aircraft proceeds to its destination, landing vertically.
