Making plans hypersonic passenger jet on display yesterday. Rate of 5030 km / h makes this aircraft four times faster than the speed of sound, known as Mach 4. The plane is called a descendant of the Concorde.
That is, the propeller plane is powered mixture of hydrogen and oxygen that make emissions produced only in the form of water. Airbus developed the project is on display before the official opening of the Paris Air Show, yesterday.
This aircraft can accommodate 100 passengers. The aircraft will use a conventional jet engine that makes it will not produce a 'sonic boom' like the Concorde.
When flying, as written Dailymail, aircraft, dubbed ZEHST (Zero Emission Transportation Hypersonic) is capable of flying from London to Malaga, Spain, in 20 minutes.
Director of Innovation and Technology EADS (Airbus subsidiary) Jean Botti said, "This aircraft is not the Concorde, but like the Concorde. That is, the aerodynamics of the 1960s shows what is already advanced. The aircraft will fly above the atmosphere."
When the upper atmosphere, no one could hear and we have been working on this project long enough, he added. Unlike other conventional aircraft, the aircraft will be powered by biofuel from seaweed which makes it the most environmentally friendly aircraft in the world.
According to Flight International transport editor David Kaminski-Morrow, "The concept vehicle is remarkable and is still within limits. The technology is available. The obstacles lie in the funding. It took billions of dollars to make this plane."
