Inside supersonic plane that could get you from London to New York in 80 minutes at speeds of 2,486 mph.

A NEW design has been unveiled for the Hyper Sting supersonic jet that would surpass the speed and size of the legendary Concorde.

The plane would travel at a speed of 2,486mph – twice as fast as Concorde.

Measuring 328 feet long with a 168-foot wingspan, the aircraft is also nearly twice its size.

Spanish designer Oscar Viñals, who is behind the mock-ups, says 170 passengers could enjoy travel aboard the Hyper Sting.

"Concorde was a brilliant piece of machinery, a noble experiment, but it put too many emissions in the environment, too much noise into our communities, and was too expensive to operate," Viñals told The U.S. Sun.

Very nice. Now viruses will be able to travel around the world in a matter of minutes making all future pandemic isolation nearly impossible.

The Concorde used to take 3 hours between London and New York.

Boom recently lost its jet engine partner for the Overture supersonic jet, and other major engine manufacturers aren't interested in the project either, Insider has reported. After Boom signed an "engagement agreement" with Rolls-Royce for supersonic jet engines back in 2020, the latter announced last week that it had left the project. Now, other major jet engine manufacturers including Pratt & Whitney, GE Aviation, Honeywell and Safran Aircraft Engines have told FlightGlobal they're not currently interested in supersonic aircraft.

Boom said that the project is still on track, though, and that it will soon announce an engine partner. "We can reconfirm our intention to announce Boom's selected engine partner and transformational approach for reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable supersonic flight, later this year." Boom told Insider. The company has 20 airplanes on order from American Airlines and 15 from United. It plans to build build a factory in California and start flying passengers by 2029.

For its part, Rolls-Royce said that "after careful consideration... [we] have determined that the commercial aviation supersonic market is not currently a priority for us and, therefore, will not pursue further work on the program at this time."

Boom's supersonic jet is facing a lack of interest from engine suppliers

Boom may be in a bind with its supersonic Overture jet, as no jet engine manufacturers are interested in the project.

But read the article.

How would it work?​

Hyper Sting would be powered to incredible speeds by two ramjet engines, which would be fuelled by a small nuclear reactor.

And it would also require the use of a so-far theoretical cold fusion nuclear reactor.

This theoretical power source allows nuclear reactions at room temperature and produces huge amounts of electric power.

Based on engine tech that may never be achieved...

Why would anyone need to go from London to NY that fast?

Why would anyone need to go from London to NY that fast?

To cut out that interminable drag between the coast of Ireland and Newfoundland.
