A variant of this plane is also being developed as a type of space shuttle! Its called the skylon and it should take off and fly like an ordinary plane but be able to achieve LEO by having a hybrid engine (Jet/Rocket)!
yea they would also build a space shutle 3 times more efficiant and way bigger than the americans thing is the americans get it made and you rarely ps not american myself
How come it must fly in the ozone layer? Doesn't the engine need oxygen for complete combustion of the liquid hydrogen? And the higher you go in alt. the less oxygen right?
Also, what kind of engines are they using? Turbines still?
In 25 years, this will be old-fashioned. Besides, nothing like this has ever been built. So many cool things like the Rockwell X-30 and the Project Valkyrie spaceship have been cancelled. Heck, we can barely even make a manned aircraft that travels at mach 6 for more than a few minutes (X-15), and our fastest airplane travels at mach 3.2. Given this, the chances that we'll have a single-stage-to-orbit (Reaction Engines' Skylon) in 9 years. I'm willing to bet anything that this never happens.
It probably won't, but Aerion are developing a supersonic business jet which will enter service in 2014/15, and Boeing are also planning a supersonic jet. Supersonic travel is the future
Great project if realized. These great innovations create the new wealth to Britain, As a passenger there is only one serious drawback, the A2 plane has to be windowless due to the huge static and thermal stresses of flying high and fast. To maintain the fun of flying this must be resolved too. A transparant futuristic composite material like a polycarbonate/graphene layered window perhaps? Who knows.. Great project, hope it will become a reality!
@Toxicbowelz its no worse than sitting at an office chair for 12 hours. at least you have the nice views and you get food and water brought to youre seat.
Instead of wasting money at the stockmarkets, money should be invested in these kind of great aerospace research projects.. A nation only can become rich by investing in science and technology, not by speculation with money.. This project sounds really great and I hope to see interesting innovations in the field of aerospace coming into fruitation the next decades... After 40 years of stagnation in aviation research it's time to go higher, faster and cleaner! Anthonie, Netherlands
if we make air travel too fast it will take the fun out of flying. the nice thing about flying is enjoyin the scenery and views not the time it takes you to get to youre destination.
The American Air force will never allow a plane impossible to intercept flying in the sky. Do you realize what the Mach 5 speed and 75000 feet flight means? Dog-fighters can't fly over Mach 2.5 and 60000 feet. That do not only make a travel plane, that can potentially be a spy plane too. And you can imagine which possibilities are offered to a plane what is able to break the sky defense, by having more performances than combat planes.
@ibuggle wow, first the US air-force threatens the EU, they would shoot down satellites of our (hopefully) soon to be built Galileo system, what´s next? Shooting passenger planes because of possible spy capabilities? Hey guys wake up, we´re your allies.
@ibuggle Oh yea? What is the US Air Force going to do about it? Declare war on England because they're going to build hypersonic PASSENGER planes that can be construed as dual use aircraft? That's a pathetic argument if I ever heard one.

Its too fucking big. And look at the size of the wings! Even with slats down and flaps that thing is gonna need a hell of a runway distance. <thats more money and problems. I mean look at the size of the A380. I only desing things that go fast as small as possible. Its good it uses liquid engines, just water comes out. BUT HYDROGEN IS FUCKING HEAVY BEFORE TAKEOFF!!!!! So that means reforcing the runways.
@G777GUN There is a massive difference between the altitude a passenger plane flies at the altitude the shuttle reaches. That's the whole point of that much fuel.
@G777GUN True. But there is still a massive difference between the energy required to nearly entirely escape gravity and the energy needed to work against gravity.
True. But would those solid boosters get to australia if NASA aimed them in that direction. Look at an ICBM. They carry this small amount of warheads on a big rocket.
This is the most ridiculous concept ever, I can see about investigating it, but not building or flying a giant tube with no windows. You know what's worse? IT HAS NO PILOTS. Yes, *NO* airmen flying the plane. Why not stick with the older NASA concept, it was a Mach 6 airplane! And it had both pilots and windows. Fly that at 120,000 feet...Not this thing.
@MrEiriku First thing's first, learn your damn manners you dick, and no this plane has *no* pilots, research it for yourself. It has no windows because of the extreme altitudes it's capable of flying at. It's the same concept in design features as the Skylon. Pilots control it from a flight station on the ground. You people are such an annoyance.
A nation's combat aircraft serve as a deterrent, and as such governments WANT people to know that they have that level of capability. There is no reason a government would want to pretend they don;t have a particular capability.
The only "secret" aircraft would be a spy plane, which would not be designed for combat and as such comparing it to a jet fighter is like comparing proverbial apples and oranges. Completely different aircraft with completely different missions.
Anyway, this aircraft won't ever be produced. It's fantasy. There's no market for a hypersonic jet, and just look at the size of it... just imagine the runway space it would use. Not to mention, it's ugly as shit. Who wants to fly on a nuclear missile?
@TheMarkOfTheBeast1 I think you're being to pessimistic here. It could happen. In fact, I think there's a pretty good chance of it actually entering commercial service.
Even if it did, it wouldn't be successful. Nobody wants to fly in a nuclear missile. Basic human psychology. This thing is off-putting to the average person.
I hate that this is getting called "Concorde's successor". How can you even compare this to the Concorde? First of all, Concorde is supersonic, not hypersonic. And secondly, Concorde is a beautiful aircraft; this thing, however, looks like a nuclear missile.
And this plane will only be needed on very long-haul flights, not medium-haul flights. Concorde did both, so this aircraft isn't filling the gap that Concorde left.
correct me if i'm wrong.. mach 1 is approx. (a little more than) 1,230 km/hr .. this thing flies at mach 5?? 6150 kph?? i wonder if the passengers would actually feel comfortable enough sitting in there for 4 hours trip.
"we are now preparing to enter mach 5.. please remain seated for the next 4 and half hours, do not move your arms or legs during this flight or you may feel nausea. Enjoy the flight."
that company is called reaction engines and theyre currently working on a reusable spacecraft called skylon. they specifically focus on the heat transfer with the exhaust system of the sabre engines. they are based on a huge science park near where i live and its the same place as the 'jet' company who are researching nuclear fusion. i work for a company who installed the alarm systems on all the reaction engines offices and test areas. its pretty awesome shit i can tell you!!
hydrogen power? there you go..they have all ready developed high tech hydrogen technologies..and the bull shit about hydrogen being no good for car gas technologies still goes on..
Whatever happened to HOTOL? Maybe this is "son-of-HOTOL"
P.S. Why all the talk about Brussels to Australia? Obviously so that all those parasitic Members of the European Parliament can shoot through (at taxpayers expense) to Aussie during the winter in northern hemisphere. Perhaps, by appealing to their hedonism, this thing would get funded. Never, ever trust politicians - they serve only themslves.
@Gruntol5 The tight British government wouldn't give any more money to HOTOL. But this is son of HOTOL with some of the same people involved. No doubt military forces everywhere are spying on the project.
"Good morning, this is your Captain speaking, thank you for joining us for the maiden flight of the A2.
A bit of good news; the weather is not a factor in our flight so we will be in Sydney in under 5 hours. Bad news; we will be traveling at such height & speed that THE FABRIC OF EARTH'S DEFENSIVE BARRIER WILL BE RENT ASUNDER, LEAVING ALL TO DIE OF THE WORST CASES OF SKIN CANCER EVER.
The no smoking signs are on as this is a non-smoking flight. Thank you for flying."
hahahaha, when u are sitting inside, and it makes a supersonic boom the engines will leave the body and u will be hung in the air!
anyway why can't they make a super strong sepphere and make passanger seats inside of a particle accelirator, search Project ATLAS. it travels around europe 1890 somthing times in 1 second hahaha. ur in New York, you blink and u find your self in Tokyo Japan. hahaha! Madness!
a particle accelerator has its name from what it does: accelerating particles
particles are no persons
even a dust particle is impossible to be accelerated
anyways, u need strong magnetic field all the way just as well as the whole tube must be a super high vac. chamber ect.
would be easyer to "just" make a huge monorail that fits in a vac. tube (tho no such high vakuum is req. anymore, an ordinary pres. of around 1mbar would be fine
this would transport EXTREM fast + a low fuel consumption
And it'll break up midflight too. They're haveing trouble making their new JL-2 SLBM and their J-10's are breaking up midflight. The Chinese have a problem with advanced material sciences. It's the reason why their new Type 094 SSBN was seen in dock with it's missile compartments open, no JL-2's to arm it.
Maybe u havent noticed it yet but china has none jet and/or turbine fabricants. They all buy boeing, airbus and lockheed engines and they are either american or russian.
So why do you base china to get it done in 12months when they never actualy took the challenge on building a regular turbine plane?
I cant imagine how u can credit china on making better planes faster if they have no historic aviation records.
Well, when you burn fuel and air at high temperatures the nitrogen and oxygen in the air combine into nitrogen oxides.
They catalytically break the ozone down (O3) into standard diatomic oxygen (O2). Ozone can absorb and alter the wavelengths of UV-Rays into less harmful radiation, regular oxygen cannot, thus radiation levels increase.
There are solutions to this, one issue is to better distribute the heat in the combustion chamber so you don't have a small hot flame, but a much larger area that while cooler has the same overall energy. Pre-vaporizing, and premixing the fuel could do this.
Using a lean fuel to air ratio is also another strategy which works. The amount of air relative to fuel is very high. Modern day with computerized control to make rapid adjustments here and there, we can prevent the risk of a flameout
Using low fuel to air ratios do run a risk of a flame-out under certain conditions normally. The idea of using a low fuel-air ratio has been thought of before for decades for the purpose of fuel consumption reduction. However it was hard to manage the risk of a flameout.
During the 1980's to 1990's, NASA along with a variety of aircraft engine companies developed a combustor that could operate using pre-vaporized, premixed fuel at a lean fuel/air ratio. It was called the LPP combusstor
The LPP (Lean Premixed Prevaporized) design was developed for the HSCT program which was basically geared around developing the technological base for which to build hypersonic and supersonic (Mach 2.4 was the predominant target, but designs from Mach 2 to Mach 10 were studied) designs that were environmentally friendly, quiet, and economical.
look people this would be awesome imagine aerospace travel making an advance like that WOW if say one did (pray to god it doesn't) crash while in transit with passengers i don't really think the clean up crew is gonna have much to do at the impact site seems all the jets energy upon impact would go directly into debris would most likely scatter 15 miles or more outward those onbord the jet well i think you know how thats gonna go
What do you think goes on in Area 51? They don't sit around all day TALKING about planes. They probably have several types of planes like this which they have been keeping secret.
I found out , why this plane has only 300 passenger seats , because there are two tanks . One is full of fuel and one is full of oxygen , because oxygen is most needed for passengers to breathe in the hypersonic speed .
that shorta sucks, cause i was hopping that it would be able to like carry 1000 passengers, i wasn't expecting 300 because it's like twices as big as the Airbus A380 and yeah with a double decker jst like the airbus a380...
25years? are you having a fucking laugh or what?!?!?!?!?! the technology is here for an aircraft that could fly at 10,000mph its just our goverment are more concerned about robbing us the fucking wankers!
What about the development and production time? Not to mention the amount of time before the British or whatever government decides to fund this thing.
yuh ok it could take a long time to build yes i understand..but! goverments are more concerned about getting taxes from us! stop spending money on fucking useless shit E.G. the iraq war witch cost the USA billions and billions one solution is pretty simple and could save you money just drop a fucking nuke on the cunts thats how i see it! goverments around the world waste so much money its unbeliveable! i think humans will be extinct in about 200years anyway the ruining the planet witch it wrong
I wonder how long runway this thing needs. After all, it's a biger than Airbus A380 which can land on quite few airports.

"Good morning, this is your Captain speaking, thank you for joining us for the maiden flight of the A2.
A bit of good news; the weather is not a factor in our flight so we will be in Sydney in under 5 hours. Bad news; we will be traveling at such height & speed that THE FABRIC OF EARTH'S DEFENSIVE BARRIER WILL BE RENT ASUNDER, LEAVING ALL TO DIE OF THE WORST CASES OF SKIN CANCER EVER.
The no smoking signs are on as this is a non-smoking flight. Thank you for flying."

hahahaha, when u are sitting inside, and it makes a supersonic boom the engines will leave the body and u will be hung in the air!
anyway why can't they make a super strong sepphere and make passanger seats inside of a particle accelirator, search Project ATLAS. it travels around europe 1890 somthing times in 1 second hahaha. ur in New York, you blink and u find your self in Tokyo Japan. hahaha! Madness!

a particle accelerator has its name from what it does: accelerating particles
particles are no persons
even a dust particle is impossible to be accelerated
anyways, u need strong magnetic field all the way just as well as the whole tube must be a super high vac. chamber ect.
would be easyer to "just" make a huge monorail that fits in a vac. tube (tho no such high vakuum is req. anymore, an ordinary pres. of around 1mbar would be fine
this would transport EXTREM fast + a low fuel consumption

And it'll break up midflight too. They're haveing trouble making their new JL-2 SLBM and their J-10's are breaking up midflight. The Chinese have a problem with advanced material sciences. It's the reason why their new Type 094 SSBN was seen in dock with it's missile compartments open, no JL-2's to arm it.

Maybe u havent noticed it yet but china has none jet and/or turbine fabricants. They all buy boeing, airbus and lockheed engines and they are either american or russian.
So why do you base china to get it done in 12months when they never actualy took the challenge on building a regular turbine plane?
I cant imagine how u can credit china on making better planes faster if they have no historic aviation records.

can some1 explain how it would dmg the ozone layer?
aceslow2 2 years ago
Well, when you burn fuel and air at high temperatures the nitrogen and oxygen in the air combine into nitrogen oxides.
They catalytically break the ozone down (O3) into standard diatomic oxygen (O2). Ozone can absorb and alter the wavelengths of UV-Rays into less harmful radiation, regular oxygen cannot, thus radiation levels increase.
CVKent317 2 years ago
There are solutions to this, one issue is to better distribute the heat in the combustion chamber so you don't have a small hot flame, but a much larger area that while cooler has the same overall energy. Pre-vaporizing, and premixing the fuel could do this.
Using a lean fuel to air ratio is also another strategy which works. The amount of air relative to fuel is very high. Modern day with computerized control to make rapid adjustments here and there, we can prevent the risk of a flameout
CVKent317 2 years ago
Using low fuel to air ratios do run a risk of a flame-out under certain conditions normally. The idea of using a low fuel-air ratio has been thought of before for decades for the purpose of fuel consumption reduction. However it was hard to manage the risk of a flameout.
During the 1980's to 1990's, NASA along with a variety of aircraft engine companies developed a combustor that could operate using pre-vaporized, premixed fuel at a lean fuel/air ratio. It was called the LPP combusstor
CVKent317 2 years ago
The LPP (Lean Premixed Prevaporized) design was developed for the HSCT program which was basically geared around developing the technological base for which to build hypersonic and supersonic (Mach 2.4 was the predominant target, but designs from Mach 2 to Mach 10 were studied) designs that were environmentally friendly, quiet, and economical.
CVKent317 2 years ago
look people this would be awesome imagine aerospace travel making an advance like that WOW if say one did (pray to god it doesn't) crash while in transit with passengers i don't really think the clean up crew is gonna have much to do at the impact site seems all the jets energy upon impact would go directly into debris would most likely scatter 15 miles or more outward those onbord the jet well i think you know how thats gonna go

I found out , why this plane has only 300 passenger seats , because there are two tanks . One is full of fuel and one is full of oxygen , because oxygen is most needed for passengers to breathe in the hypersonic speed .
