Hypersonic A2 Plane Hypersonic A2 Plane

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.

Vulcania Watch Underneatch Vulcania Watch
Vulcania Watch Front Panel Vulcania Watch
Designed by Fabrice Gonet for HD3, this watch is state of the Art. The design was inspired by the novel ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’ written by Jules Verne.The front panel has a deep set 3D display on an etched map back plate. Hours are counted from rotating cylinders on the left, while minutes are determined on a Chadburn Telegraph-like wheel. The watch also features a sextant power reserve indicator and porthole loop date window. The casing is with Titanium and platinum and the internal workings can be viewed underneath through the sapphire glass panels.

This watch was once a concept but now it has become reality. In saying that, I don’t mean that you’ll be able to purchase one down the road as only 11 of these have been produced and no price has been set yet but I assume its going to be a fair bit.
