London to New York in under an hour! Flight Hypersonic is preparing to board

London to New York in under an hour! Flight Hypersonic is preparing to board (50 years after Thunderbirds came up with the same idea) | Mail Online: "Engineers at Lockheed Martin in the U.S. revealed that they are developing the SR-72, a successor to the SR-71, the iconic Blackbird long-distance spy plane.

Lockheed Martin are developing the SR-72 spy plane with an engine which could propel it up to 4,567mph, or six times the speed of sound. The same technology could be used in passenger jets

The Blackbird holds the air speed record of Mach 3 - three times the speed of sound - but the SR-72 will go twice that speed, at up to 4,567 mph. "
