[BITList] Proposal for another supersonic aircraft

[FS]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*New 20 Seat Concorde *
Twice as fast as the old Concorde:  The supersonic jet that will fly 
from London to New York in TWO HOURS.

SonicStar plane will have a top speed of Mach 3.6.  Plans for 20-seat 
craft were unveiled at Paris Air Show.
A jet that can fly from London to Sydney in five hours could rob 
Concorde of its title as the
fastest-ever passenger plane.

Plans have been unveiled for the HyperMach SonicStar, a business jet 
which will be capable of a top speed
of 2,664 mph twice as fast as Concorde. It will fly at 62,000 ft, 
allowing passengers to see the curvature of
the earth.

HyperMach chief executive Richard Lugg wants the plane in the skies 
within ten years and has already secured
funding from the Department of Trade and Industry, which has agreed to 
support the company in Britain.
Can you imagine what a seat will cost? **

Return of supersonic travel:  The SonicStar aircraft will be twice as 
fast as Concorde - so quick that traveling from
London to New York will take just two hours.  It was unveiled at the 
Paris Air Show.
Long-range cruise speed - Mach 3.1
High-speed cruise speed - Mach 3.4
Engines - Two SonicBlue S-MAGJET Hybrid Supersonic 4000-X Series
Thrust - Flat-rated to 54,700 lb
Wing area - 1,800 square feet
Landing distance - 4,800 ft
Range - 6,000 nautical miles
Highest Altitude - 62,000 ft

CABIN
Length - 64 meters
Height at maximum - 2.6 meters
Width at maximum - 2.7 meters
Visiting the Paris Air Show, Mr Lugg said:  We have access to 
revolutionary engine technology and a unique very
high speed aircraft design to make this kind of earth-shatteringly fast 
air travel possible, and we have a date.  Our
plan is to build and fly the world 's first very high speed supersonic 
hybrid aircraft by June 2021.

Propulsion for the 20-seat aircraft will come from two hybrid engines 
which will be 30 per cent more fuel efficient
than the Rolls-Royce engines used in Concorde.

It has been eight years since Concorde was retired from service and with 
it the supersonic dreams of millions around
the world.

HyperMach claims its SonicStar aircraft will be so quick that traveling 
from London to New York will take just two
hours.  A trip from New York to Sydney, meanwhile, will be cut by a 
staggering 75 per cent - from 20 hours on a
commercial airliner to just five hours.

It will be able to cruise at Mach 3.1, a speed made possible by S-MAGJET 
hybrid gas turbine engine technology;
nobody has ever traveled that fast before.  Its top speed, however, will 
be Mach 3.6.

With relatively low fuel consumption, the Sonic Star 'overcomes the 
economic and environmental challenges of
supersonic flight to revolutionize the way we travel and drive air 
transportation forward into the future, ' claims
HyperMach.

By using electromagnetic currents across the fuselage to suppress the 
sonic boom, the plane is able to overcome
the noise regulations that constrict supersonic travel.

It has a range of 6,000 nautical miles and its 54,700 lb. thrust class 
S-MAGJET engine - actually two engines - is
optimized to fly the aircraft at 62,000 ft.

But it is the reduction in jet engine emissions that HyperMach believes 
will prove the secret of SonicStar 's success.

Tomorrow 's world: HyperMach plans to build its SonicStar engine by the 
end of the decade and to have the plane
itself constructed by 2025.

SonicStar will be able to cruise at Mach 3.1, a speed made possible by 
S-MAGJET hybrid gas turbine engine
technology.

A spokesman said:  'The engine is a true hybrid. It generates massive 
electrical power on board using proprietary
integrated turbine electromagnetic generation technology to segment each 
engine rotating component stage electrically.
'Every stage from bypass fans to compressor to turbine rotates 
independently of the other. '

This segmentation will enable the engine to change the operating speeds 
of its rotating components continually
throughout the flight to respond to the changing conditions of the 
atmosphere and the flight and performance demands
of the aircraft.  The HyperMach claims that this, along with the 
S-MAGJET plasma fuel combustion technology, will
result in a 40 to 50 per cent increase in the ability of engine to 
convert fuel to thrust. The company said such fuel
efficiency would ultimately lead to a 30 t o 35 per cent reduction in 
fuel used as supersonic speeds.
