A new Concorde jet could change traveling between London and New York forever.
When the original Concorde jet came out, it could make it between New York and London in 3.5 hours, which was pretty revolutionary back in the day.
Now, Concorde aims to break its own record with a planned hypersonic plane called an ‘ultra-rapid air vehicle’. The commercial aircraft will fly at around 4.5 times the speed of sound. Because of the noise pollution, the new Concorde will fly higher, giving its passengers a space-like experience. The jet will also take off vertically like a spaceship, so passengers will have to sit in ‘hammock-like’ seats, and the entire craft will only hold about 20 people.
