At peak speed, hypersonic flights between London and Australia could be over in just four-and-a-half hours.
Engineers working on a propulsion system to enable hypersonic air travel say they have passed a development milestone.
At that speed, hypersonic flights between London and Australia could be over in just four-and-a-half hours. But for those speeds to be possible, the futuristic engines need to process air flows with extremely high temperatures. Now Reaction Engines has revealed that its precooler component – designed to manage extreme heat – has successfully handled temperatures of 420 degrees Celsius, matching the conditions it would face when reaching Mach 3.3 speeds. At that speed, an aircraft would be traveling three times faster than the speed of sound and 50 percent faster than Concorde.
