The vehicle would have a fuselage reminiscent of the Concorde and take off like a conventional airliner accelerate to Mach 5. 2
So said Joelle Cornet-Templet, a chief stewardess for Air france, about Concorde: one of the world first supersonic civilian airplanes,
Concorde was the best-known member of an exclusive club of two; the only other civilian airliner able to break the speed of sound was the Soviet union Tupolev tu-144,
The end of the Concorde and Tupolev airliners left the supersonic market empty. But now, 12 years after the Concorde fleet last flew,
even faster airliners are taking shape in research facilities. One of those designs is by Lapcat-II,
The retired Concorde produced a 135-decibel noise on the ground a lot more than the average Airbus. Another problem is that of the uperboomwhich develops
The Concordes and Tupolevs that paved the way for supersonic air travel in the 1970s now gather dust in museums.

if not the only one, preventing the opening of lines other than transatlantic ones for the Concorde aircraft,
Airbus files patent for a hypersonic jet more than double the speed of Concorde A trip from London to New york could take just one hour
Business Insider points out that this is a major improvement on the 3. 5 hours it took for the now Mach 2 Concorde to make the same trip.
which was a major problem for Concorde when it flew over land. Passengers on the aircraft will be limited to 20.'
#Skreemr concept could travel five times faster than Concorde It's 12 years since Concorde made its last supersonic flight at Mach 2. 04,
or 1, 354 mph (2, 179 km h). ) But the future of flight could be much faster,
which is around twice the speed of Concorde, The Globe and Mail reported. The designers say scramjet engines could then be used to propel it to speeds of over 10 times the speed of sound,
Earlier this month, illustrations emerged for'Concorde 2, 'based on a patent awarded to Airbus in July,
It's been dubbed Concorde 2 because it would be much faster and quieter than the retired supersonic jet,
Its proposed one-hour journey time between New york and London would be more than three times faster than the original Concorde,
making it much quieter than Concorde, which some complained was too noisy when it flew over populated areas.
However, unlike with Concorde, the Airbus design will limit passengers to just 20. t
#Forget PINS, soon you'll be able drawing money out using your EYES: Retinal scanning to be trialled by Citigroup Citigroup is testing new technology that will allow customers to withdraw money using retinal scanning.
With the grounding of the Concorde fleets in 2013, flying faster than the speed of sound reverted to a military monopoly,
Now Airbus'Marco Prampolini and Yohann Coraboeuf have been granted a US patent for an"ultra-rapid air vehicle"designed to fly at 20 km (12.4 mi) higher than conventional aircraft and over four times the speed of sound twice the speed of Concorde.
Concorde may have carried the wealthy and glamorous across the Atlantic in under three hours, but only 20 were built ever after an Anglo-french development program in the 1960s that was compared to the Apollo Moon landings in cost and complexity.
and the Arab oil embargo of the 1970s made the Concorde economically unviable and it ended up as a tiny fleet, only flying with British airways and Air france because of French and British government pressure.
The Airbus patent takes the idea of the Concorde, boosts the performance and reduces the impact of the infamous sonic boom.
it puts even the fastest Concorde to shame. The sonic boom created by this aircraft is surprisingly less than that of the Concorde.
The aircraft is equipped with two ramjets under its delta wings, a pair of Turbojets under the front part of the fuselage and a rocket engine at the rear end of the fuselage.
