Hi EveryOne,
We live in a time where people are not very far from going onto Mars. Hopefully well many of us will witness this phenomenon becoming a reality in first half of coming decade. With the achievements of SpaceX and Mars One Projects we can say that we are already more the ready to launch the first ever maned mission to Mars.
But the question is will it just be going to Mars or will we see any technological and digital advancements on Earth. The answer is YES we will see. Its not an illusion that in not more then 100 years of discovery of the first aeroplane we have already sent thousands of satellites to space with our flight technologies. We have already broken speed records of over 1000 Km an hour. But we are yet to see a transatlantic or intercontinental travel passenger aeroplane going on so much speed that in half an hour you can reach from New York to London.
Watch this video below to understand more on this.
Yup you watched it well. Hope its now much more clear to you that we are not away on having break fast in America and lunch in UK. This will improve business opportunities and will enable more and more advancements in airtravel technology.
Want to know who is working right now to achieve this feet.
Here is a list of companies who want to go round the globe in less then couple of hours.
At the October 2017 NBAA convention in Las Vegas, with NASA supporting only research, inexperienced companies are facing engineering challenges to propose aircraft with no engine available, variable top speeds and operating models:
- the Aerion AS2 is 12-seat trijet, with a range of 4,750 nmi at Mach 1.4 over water or 5,300 nmi at Mach 0.95 over land, although “boomless” Mach 1.1 flight is possible. Backed by Airbus and with 20 launch orders from Flexjet, First deliveries were pushed back from 2023 by two years when GE Aviation was selected in May 2017 for a joint engine study;
- the Boom XB-1 Baby Boom third-scale testbed should fly in 2018 as the powerplant is selected for a 45/55-seat trijet airliner reaching Mach 2.2 over water for 9,000 nmi with one stop for a business-class fare. Aiming for 2023 deliveries, it received 10 commitments from Virgin and 15 from an undisclosed European airline in 2016, totalling 76 from five airlines by June 2017;
- The Spike S-512 is a self-funded twinjet design aiming to cruise at Mach 1.6 over water for 6,200 nmi with 22 passengers in a windowless cabin, with unspecified 20,000 lbf engines. A SX-1.2-scale model should have made its maiden flight in September 2017 before a manned testbed in 2019 and the prototype in 2021, with market availability for 2023.
