Virgin Galactic's new supersonic passenger plane unveiled. No prototype, no model, but just concept pics and numbers.
Speed : Mach 3, compare that with Concord's Mach 2.
Altitude : 20 km, compare with commercial flight's 10 km.
NY-London flight time : 90 mins.
Passengers : 19 max. 9 with enough leg space.
Engine : Roles Royce. Concord and other supersonic fighters use the same company's.
Sounds pretty great. Now only if they can make a profit in this Covid era.
There were no supersonic passenger flight after the demise of Concord. Now startups are trying to come up with new. Concord was me and all kid's favorite jet in the 80s. The retractable nose has a Transformers like feeling.
