True this wont happen anytime soon bt this thing will definately hit air travel in a big way. Rather than making planes more luxurious if the manufacturers can actually make planes fly more faster then i guess its much more better

Singapore Airlines, in the early 1980s, used to advertide on the last page of Time magazine. The advt used to be around a supersonic plane concept which promised a travel time between Singapore and New York of 50 minutes. Plane in the advt used to look like a B-52, bat shaped.
The ad line of SQ in that advt was, "We'll only have to pour the Dom Perignon a little faster!" |

These are more of media oriented articles rather than some reality. We have been hearing about NASA making hypersonic passenger aircrafts and india-usa in 2 hours blah blah blah.
More of nonsense than anything worth actually. Spend your resources on making better gadgets to make flying further safe than such rubbish

When we were under training in the '70s, a trick question used to be:- assume you are able to take a hot air balloon to (say) outer space from Delhi, then will you land at the other end in North America in the same latitude 12 hours later?
There is obviously a flaw in this hypothesis.
Likewise this "40 minutes" concept. In this lifetime, at least. |
