Virgin Galactic’s Supersonic Aircraft Could Travel From London to New York in 90 Minutes - Barrons
Virgin Galactic, an aerospace and space travel company that’s part of Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, is on track to develop a new generation of high-speed aircrafts that will shorten the trip from London to New York to one-and-a-half hours, from the average seven-and-a-half hours it currently takes.
The company’s supersonic jet has recently completed a “Mission Concept Review” by a panel including representatives from NASA, which concluded that “under the latest available data and research, the concept would meet the mission’s requirements,” the company said in a release earlier this week.
The company also revealed its initial design concept of the high-speed aircraft, collaborating with Rolls-Royce in designing and developing engine-propulsion technology.
