NASA has plans to unveil a new jet that can take passengers from London to New York in 90 minutes.
It is hoped one route would see flights from New York City to London up to four times faster than what’s currently possible
Commercial partners including Boeing, Rolls-Royce and GE Aerospace have been contracted to create non-proprietary designs for concept vehicles. “We conducted similar concept studies over a decade ago at Mach 1.6-1.8, and those resulting roadmaps helped guide NASA research efforts since, including those leading to the X-59,” said Lori Ozoroski, project manager for NASA’s Commercial Supersonic Technology Project. “These new studies will both refresh those looks at technology roadmaps and identify additional research needs for a broader high-speed range.
Boeing is leading the first team, with partners Exosonic, GE Aerospace, Georgia Tech Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory, Rolls-Royce North American Technologies, and others.
