Concorde 2: NASA developing SUPERSONIC jet that races tourists beyond speed of sound

TOURISTS will race to holiday destinations in the near future after NASA revealed it is developing a supersonic passenger jet.

The incredible reveal was made following decades of research, according to tech boffins.

NASA said the aircraft would be able to reach supersonic speed without the so-called “boom” of breaking the sound barrier.

It would, instead, create a softer thump.

An initial review of the jet was made in January where an experimental plane was placed in a wind tunnel.

If development continues at this pace the plane could take flight in 2021, according to boffins.

Peter Coen, a commercial supersonic tech manager, said: “Supersonics has been a dream for a long time – cut your time in half.

“It’s a good industry for the US to be getting into. Subsonic commercial airplanes are being built worldwide now.

“We need some new markets, some new vehicles.”

The announcement comes after Boeing said it had developed a fighter jet that could fly across the globe in just three hours.

Kevin Bowcutt, a senior technical fellow at Boeing, added: “This is one of several concepts and technologies we’re studying for a hypersonic aircraft.

“This particular concept is for a military application that would be targeted for an intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, or ISR and capabilities.”
