LONDON - The world of commercial aviation will be more advanced, the distance from a country that took hours can now be shortened. This is thanks to the latest technology in the world of commercial aviation.
advanced aircraft is able to fly 4 times speed of sound
a group of engineers create a jet capable of carrying passengers traveling briefly. As an illustration, flight from London to Tokyo, which can take hours, now can be reached only with a time of 2 hours. Not only that, the plane was able to reduce pollution as small as possible.
Tech hypersonic jet has a speed of up to 3.125 mph, or equal to four times the speed of sound. Indeed, this technology is the adoption of the Concorde, if commercialized plan will be made for the aircraft type Airbush 350, code-named A 350 XWB.
Launched by dailymail Monday (6/20/2011), Airbush A 350 XWB plane will later be made by the company EADS. The aircraft itself is touted as the heir to Concorde, the aircraft will be driven by a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, which means the only emission is water.
Once at a certain altitude, the pilot will involve a pair of rocket engine that will push the plane for much higher speeds and hovering above the atmosphere.
The technology is commonly used in missiles, are highly efficient at speeds above 1000 mphi. When the rocket booster will also help to deliver the aircraft to a height of 20 miles.
When done testing to bring up to 100 passengers, the aircraft uses a set of conventional jet engines that will help launch the aircraft from the runway. This means the aircraft will not generate noise 'Sonic Boom' like the Concorde.
The technology is referred to by engineers as the Zero Emission Transportation Hypersonic (ZEHT). Several times the plane was conducted trials, and indeed the faster the mileage results. For example, from London to Malaga, northern Spain, just 20 minutes. While in Istanbul, just 30 minutes, even to some of the United States (U.S.), it takes 1 hour.
The plan, the farthest flight will be tested on London flights to Tokyo, which is estimated to take only 2 hours.
"It's not the Concorde but it looks like the Concorde, suggesting that the aerodynamics of the 1960's are very intelligent," said Jean Botti, Innovation and Technology Director at EADS.
"The plane will fly just above the atmosphere, which means it can fly more than 3,000 mph. When you're above the atmosphere, passengers will not hear anything. We have been working on this project long enough, now the right time," he explained.
