New York to London in 80 Minutes

An exciting new flying concept, the Hyper Sting, has just been unveiled by famed, Barcelona-based aviation designer Oscar Vinals.  It's a supersonic passenger aircraft that can fly at three times the speed of sound or Mach 3.5.  That speed would enable travel from New York City to London in just 80 minutes.  Designer Vinals says this SST is very feasible, but it will require the development of new, advanced technologies.

Future of Flying

This fascinating new piece of aviation technology, that showcases a supersonic future, would be capable of carrying 170 passengers.  It is powered by a cold fusion nuclear reactor that fires up and sustains 4, next generation hybrid turbojets and 2, ramjet engines.  It is bigger and wider than the Concorde at 328-feet long and the wingspan is 169-feet. The shape of the plane is sleek and distinctive with a very sharp nose.  The designer says it looks like a "big sting" and the configuration maximizes the SST's aerodynamics.  Maximum speed is 2,664 mph, cruising speed is 2,486 mph and maximum altitude is 65,616 feet.

Brand New Approach

Vinals has taken a brand-new approach with the Hyper Sting and has introduced a number of new, innovative solutions incorporated into it, including:

  • New fuselage geometry with a central body for passengers
  • Active, variable wings
  • New technologies to reduce sonic booms
  • New technologies that create energy for the plane, including the cold fusion nuclear reactor
  • New concept engines
  • New aerodynamics
  • New guidance systems.
Clearly the future of flying will include new forms of supersonic and eventually hypersonic travel that will get passengers to their destinations much faster.  There are several, important new supersonic aircraft projects now underway.  The new design concept, Hyper Sting, is certainly among those to watch.  For more news stories like this, Latest Innovations For Tomorrow  It's the #1 new release in Pictorial Automotive Books on Amazon.
