DieHardBrownsFan Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Test Complete on Hypersonic Jet That Could Cross the Atlantic in an Hour by America's Newsroom Posted in: Air, Department of Defense, Jets, London, New York Twitter 1 Share 12 The Defense Department has completed tests on a hypersonic jet that could travel from London to New York in less than an hour. It’s being called the Wave Rider because it basically rides its own shock waves through the sky. Samantha Murphy, a technology reporter for Mashable.com, joined America’s Newsroom to describe the testing saying that the jet’s engine pulls oxygen from the atmosphere to make it go even faster. _______________ ______________ “I think that in the future, we might be able to see something like this roll out for consumer flight. And it would certainly change things … but they’re not there yet,” Murphy said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
