Hypersonic Jet Makes It To Australia In 5 hours
Everyone dreads the thought of flying. Therefore, being able to fly in 1/5 of the time is like a dream and that dream has become reality with the A2 plane.The A2 plane is designed by engineering company Reaction Engines based in Oxfordshire and can carry 300 passengers at a top speed of almost 4,000 mph (6,400 kmh), five times the speed of sound. It operates on liquid hydrogen, which is more ecologically friendly as it gives off water and nitrous oxide instead of carbon emissions.
Passengers would have to put up with having no windows, due to problems with heat produced at high speeds. Instead designers may put flat screen televisions where the windows would be, giving the impression of seeing outside.
The fares will be comparable to current first class tickets.

I doubt it would make it into service in my lifetime though since hydrogen powered cars haven’t even reached the masses yet. It would be so cool though.
