#Airbus patents plane that could fly from New york to London in 1 hour A rocket-plane that could fly from Vancouver to Tokyo in three hours instead of 10 has been patented by Airbus. The U s. patent for an"ultra-rapid air vehicle
Airbus said the plane would be targeted mainly at business travel and VIP passengers"who require transcontinental return journeys within one day,
"and at the military. The document states that the supersonic plane could carry 20 passengers
or two to three tonnes and reach up to 4. 5 times the speed of sound (Mach 4. 5) around 5 500 kilometres per hour.
That would allow it to fly about 9, 000 kilometres from Paris to San francisco (currently an 11-hour flight) or Tokyo to Los angeles (currently a 10-hour flight) in three hours,
the plane could cover the 5, 600-kilometre distance between New york and London, normally a seven to eight hour flight, in an hour.
However, that doesn't take into account that the plane wouldn't be at its top speed for the entire duration of the flight.
The plane would achieve its extreme speed with a combination of three sets of engines turbojets for taxiing, takeoff and landing;
The turbojets and rocket motor fold into the body of plane when not in use and the plane also has adjustable fins to make it more aerodynamic.
It would be fuelled by hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The speed of the plane would be double that of two previously built supersonic planes, neither

No sonic boom on ground But the patent says its main improvement over those two is that it reduces the noise of the sonic boom a loud bang caused by shockwaves created by an object moving faster than the speed of sound."
if not the only one, preventing the opening of lines other than transatlantic ones for the Concorde aircraft,
The plane does that by being"near-vertical, "like a rocket, while ramping up to supersonic speed
and its cruising altitude of 30,000 to 35,000 metres 20 kilometres higher than conventional commercial aircraft.
"The sound energy dissipates in a ring around the plane, parallel to the ground, so that no shockwave hits the ground.
The only noise would be directly under the plane, "is confined to the vicinity of the airport

#More Indian Airports Set to Go Solar Recently, the Kochi airport in the south Indian state of Kerala switched to solar power
and created headlines across the world. Now, another airport is set to adopt solar power to meet a majority of its power needs.
The Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose airport in Kolkata will have a utility-scale solar power project of 15 to 20 MW capacity.
The project will be set up over a 55 acres area and would meet 60%of the airport power needs.
The airport authorities will soon launch tender for the implementation of the project with financial resources worth $20 million already having been allocated for the project.
The project will be able to meet the entire demand of the airport during the day,
but during the night the airport would be required to purchase power from the grid. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) recently announced that major airports in the western state of Rajasthan would also set up solar power projects to meet a part of their power demand.
The Jaipur airport already has a 100 kw rooftop solar power system and is planning to set up a 1. 8 MW ground-based power project.
Airports at Jodhpur Jaisalmer, and Bikaner are also planning to set up rooftop projects. Other Indian airports have also set up solar power projects to meet a part of the demand,
as well as earn additional revenue. Delhi Indira Gandhi International airport, operated by GMR Infrastructure, has a solar power project registered under the Renewable energy Certificates schemes.
Large commercial and industrial consumers in India are increasingly looking to set up renewable energy projects to meet their power demand,
instead of relying on traditional supply from utilities. Power tariffs levied by utilities have been increasing rapidly,
