When do you think we will have hypersonic commercial flight?
I hope I see it in my lifetime
Hypersonic Flight (Mach 5 and beyond):
Future Possibilities:
Hypersonic speeds, generally considered Mach 5 and above, are also being explored for air travel.
High Altitude and Reduced Drag:
Hypersonic aircraft aim to fly at high altitudes (e.g., 62 miles or 100 kilometers) to minimize atmospheric drag and turbulence.
Future Outlook:
Reduced Travel Times:
Supersonic and hypersonic technologies aim to significantly reduce travel times, potentially cutting transatlantic flight times in half.
New Possibilities:
Faster travel times could open up new possibilities for international travel, business, and tourism.
Commercialization:
While the Concorde era saw a brief period of supersonic commercial flights, current efforts aim to bring back supersonic travel with more efficient and sustainable technologies, with some companies projecting commercial flights by the end of the decade.
