Now you must be thinking how it is possible to reach any part of the world in just 2 hours when some places are 22 hours away from your place. Well, NASA plans to launch a sub-orbital flight, making this possible.
As per reports, NASA will be launching the son of Concorde, which is the X-59 spacecraft which has a speed of 1500 km/hour. Being the son of Concorde, X-59 will be smaller than its father.
This new launch will reduce travel time drastically, which means a flight from London to New York will take 3.5 hours, and the flight from London to Sydney, which takes 22 hours, will complete the flight in just two hours.
The X-59 will use Quiet Supersonic Technology to create a sonic boom to break the sound barriers. These Sub-orbital flights are very similar to that of a rocket. These sub-orbital flights will operate at 3500 miles which means they will be covering 5632 km per hour, built with the idea of time-saving prospects.
The spacecraft will be 100 ft long and 29.5 feet wing span with 14 ft height.
