Imagine crossing the Atlantic in just 1 hour and 30 minutes! It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but it may become a reality soon.

Recently, NASA revealed that it is working on an ambitious project to transform commercial aviation. The goal is to develop a supersonic plane that can reach impressive speeds, ranging from 1,535 to 3,045 miles per hour (mph). This is more than twice the speed of current commercial planes, which fly at about 600 mph.

Strategic Partnerships

To make this dream a reality, NASA has signed 12-month contracts with aerospace giants such as Boeing and Rolls-Royce. These partnerships aim to create a “technology roadmap” for the development of the new supersonic jet.

The Legacy of the X-59

The project is not a completely new idea. NASA had already completed the development of the X-59 supersonic flight test aircraft, which will serve as the basis for the new project. The X-59 is scheduled to conduct its first test flight later this year, marking a significant step in high-speed air travel research.

Comparison with the Concorde

It is worth noting that the Concorde, the fastest passenger plane ever built, reached a maximum speed of 1,354 mph. However, the jets were retired in 2003 due to several factors, including a recession in the aviation industry and a fatal accident in 2000.
