> These help to propel 2 or 3 tons of cargo, or 20 passengers, at
> speeds of up to Mach 4.5 over roughly 5,600 miles in three hours.

> The inventors notably addressed the sound hurdle. Their proposed
> vehicle substantially reduces the noise when the sound barrier is
> broken. "The hypersonic Airbus makes the leap from subsonic to
> supersonic speeds vertically, while climbing like a rocket, which
> should dissipate the sound before it reaches the ground," said Kelsey
> Atherton in Popular Science.

> PatentYogi said the patent suggests a revolutionary aircraft "that
> leaves every other supersonic jet far behind." After all, a cruising
> speed of Mach 4.5 puts "even the fastest Concorde to shame," he said.
> "At 4.5 mach, you can reach from London to NY in one hour. Currently
> it takes a seven-hours flight."
