CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted June 10, 2015 They had this for the longest time. Catching up on China? Not so much. More like making it more public. Long ago, it was considered as conspiracy, but it many know the craft as, "Aurora". Not too sure what its called now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drebin052 324 Posted June 20, 2015 Could do with that speed on transatlantic flights It would be a very uncomfortable and fuel-inefficient way to travel, not to mention the likely ridiculous price of the airfare to travel on a commercialised version of this. There's a reason why the Concorde got retired and why no one has bothered to make anything similar to it since then (and that's just supersonic). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
