A new study claims that supersonic flights could become a reality within the next 10 years, with jet-setters being able to fly from the UK to Australia in just two hours before the end of the next decade.When humans first began toying around with the idea of motorised cars, there were genuine concerns about what sustained speeds in excess of 50 km/h would do to the human body.
Okay, so that might be embellishing the fears the original ‘speed demons’ had, but when the Wright brother took to the skies for the first time, humanity’s relationship with speed began in earnest. Today you can zip along at almost 1000km/h in a jet while drinking your coffee and reading the dailies.
“Commercial suborbital space flights are now available for tourism and scientific research, and are ultimately anticipated to mature into extremely fast point-to-point travel, e.g. London to Sydney in less than two hours.”New research by the UK Civil Aviation Authority suggests travellers will be capable of soaring at supersonic speeds through space to arrive at major cities faster than ever before.
