It would be travelling faster than the speed of sound.
Nasa’s Advanced Air Vehicles Program is now moving into the next phase of the high-speed travel research, which includes issuing two 12-month contracts to companies to develop concept designs and technology roadmaps.
Boeing is leading the first team, with partners Exosonic, GE Aerospace, Georgia Tech Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory, Rolls-Royce North American Technologies, and others. Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems lead the second team, with partners Blue Ridge Research and Consulting, Boom Supersonic, and Rolls-Royce North American Technologies.
‘The design concepts and technology roadmaps are really important to have in our hands when the companies are finished,’ said Mary Jo Long-Davis, manager of Nasa’s Hypersonic Technology Project.
