Virgin Galactic announces design of new supersonic jet that would fly three times speed of sound
By MYBRANDBOOK
Virgin Galactic has premiered a new jet design for high speed air travel: a streamlined, Concorde-esque delta-wing aircraft with capacity for nine to 19 people cruising at an altitude of over 60,000 feet. The super-fast jet will travel at Mach 3 - three times faster than the speed of sound.
Virgin Galactic has also announced a partnership with Rolls-Royce to design and develop engine propulsion technology for futuristic high speed commercial aircraft like this one. Rolls-Royce is known for its airplane engine design and notably designed the engine that fuelled the supersonic Concorde, which travelled at Mach 2.
There are other influential heavyweights advising Virgin Galactic, too. In May, Virgin Galactic signed a deal with NASA to share expertise and resources. Virgin Galactic also announced this supersonic jet concept recently passed a mission concept review, which confirmed that the concept can meet the high-level requirements and objectives of the mission.
George Whitesides, Virgin Galactic's Chief Space Officer says, "We are excited to complete the Mission Concept Review and unveil this initial design concept of a high speed aircraft, which we envision as blending safe and reliable commercial travel with an unrivalled customer experience.”
Virgin Galactic envisages the jet ferrying passengers on long-distance commercial air routes - and the idea is its interior could accommodate custom cabin layouts, including business or first class seating.
