NASA has plans to unveil a new jet that can take passengers from London to New York in 90 minutes.

NASA is working with private companies to come up with designs for commercial supersonic planes. It's also exploring tech to make sonic booms quieter.

A new study by NASA’s Glenn Research Center has looked at the possibility of supersonic passenger jets. Its “high-speed strategy” is mooting commercial flights that travel at up to Mach 4 – over 3,000 miles per hour – starting with transoceanic routes.

The new supersonic NASA passenger jet is being developed to travel more than twice the speed of a F/A-18 fighter jet – which has a potential blistering speed of 3,300 mph (Mach 4).

The thought of supersonic travel has been mooted again – by none other than NASA, which reckons that a New York-London flight could take as little as 90 minutes in the future.

(CNN) — Oh for the glory days of travel, when the seats were bigger, the food was better, and you could jet across the Atlantic in less than three hours.
