The American space agency studied the potential routes on which the plane can be deployed.
NASA said it's working on producing a passenger jet prototype that can fly "from New York City to London up to four times faster than what’s currently possible." I
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 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.
Supersonic passenger flights, which were once the realm of the Concorde, may be making a comeback, thanks to NASA. The space agency has been studying the potential for commercial flights at speeds of up to Mach 4, which is over 3,000 miles per hour. According to NASA's Glenn Research Center, there are already potential passenger…
