British engineers said last Thursday that they have a hypersonic jet that could fly from Europe to Austtralia in less than 5 hours. The A2 plane, designed by Reaction Engines in Oxfordshire, South England, could carry up to 300 passengers, the size of jamez, at a top speed of 6,400 km/h - five times the speed of sound The plane could be in operation within 25 years and is designed to leave Brussels airport flying quietly and subsonically across the North Atlantic at mach 0.9 (about 1000 km/h, before really hoofing it and climbing into space over the North Pole and reaching mach 8 or 9. The plane is 143 metres long (about twice as long as the biggest aircraft now) and it will be able to fly non-stop for 20 hours on liquid hydrogen which is environmentally friendly giving off water and nitrous oxide and NOT carbon emissions!
The are no windows on the plane because of the heat from friction. The costs are expected to be about the same as first class flights now and the flight time? 4 hours forty minutes. It could even be quicker! Imagine! Will it happen? That depends on whether people want it or not.
The technology was invented, believe it or not, nearly 40 years ago, but the British government at the time didn't think it was possible to power such a big airplane.
"Impossible! Fiddlesticks!! Absolute bananas!!! said the Bitish PM from No 10 Clowning Street
Now we see that our Promotion Posters that we did in November, were absolutely on the ball!

ERrrrr sorrrreeeee I forgot bring my Heeeeaaaddd!!

Oh, yes. E, Eh, Ehehehe,
Why hasn't the A2 got windows??
Because the plane flies faster than the speed of sound, the windows would burn up with the friction.
Why doesn't the weather worry the A2?
I donno, but it's too fast for the weather to catch to it.
What's a carbon emission.
I don't really know but I think james is an expert and so is kevin.
Isn't it connected to CO2?
Yeah, I guess, but just ask Kevinlah.
How come it's going to take 25 years before they start flying?
