January 26, 201610 yr New York to London in 11 Minutes and New York to Tokyo in 22 Minutes? Could be in our future someday soon! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3416330/Fly-New-York-London-11-MINUTES-Radical-Antipode-concept-plane-uses-rocket-boosters-revealed.html Best regards, Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

January 26, 201610 yr Hi Jim, that sure looks possible ! It would have to be real soon for me to see it, much less afford a ticket! Regards Lamar Wright
January 28, 201610 yr LOL, that's a good one But you might get a blue screen due to too much "overspeed" voice message.

January 28, 201610 yr The Concorde carried 100+ passengers and the fare ow IAD to LHR was almost $1200 in 1980! Bruce
January 28, 201610 yr Moderator Or maybe not Mach 24 at 40,000 feet... The airframe would overheat at such a low altitude. Even at FL580 the temperature on the nose of Concorde could get close to 127°C which would require it to slow down or go down. Concorde also stretched up to 8 inches at Mach 2. Imagine what would happen at Mach 24. Impossible. Ray (Cheshire, England).

January 28, 201610 yr Uhm ... looks like a Klingon bird-of-prey from Star Trek tbh ... :-))))) ANdrea
January 28, 201610 yr This Charles Bombardier guy is a joke. He has a Bachelors degree from a mediocre engineering school and most likely only got hired by Bombardier because his grandfather started the company. He managed a few projects that modified an existing ATV, and now he apparently specializes in painting pretty pictures and giving them to websites who come up with poorly researched/written clickbait articles to accompany them, posting them on their website to generate more clicks and ad revenue. Sorry, I know this is kind of a fun thread, but this trend of annoying "news" articles designed solely to generate clicks really annoys me.
January 28, 201610 yr Well it's marginally less suicidal than his previous Skreemr concept that relied on a rail gun to get it to Mach 10, a bit of back of envelope calculation (on the assumption of constant acceleration a mile long rail gun) puts the acceleration at above 350G laterally, which would be enough to kill everyone on board instantly....
January 29, 201610 yr Wouldn't your body being going nuts (ie blackout?) when it is slowing down? 10700k / Gigabyte 3060
January 30, 201610 yr Commercial Member The rail gun was only for launching. It then used rockets to accelerate and climb. I'm not saying it would happen but all his theories are actually sound if slightly unrealistic from a manufacturing point of view. Look at what virgin galactic are experimenting with. Their new tech rocketry and aerodynamics could lead to them using a derivative of spaceship two for fast sub orbital transport. I'm fairly sure that's where the tech is heading.
