London: China supersonic jet: China is building a supersonic jet that will complete the journey from London to New York in 2 hours. This Chinese plane is believed to be faster than the American supersonic plane, known as the Son of Concorde. The speed of this Chinese plane will be many times faster than the speed of sound.
speed of 5000 kilometers per hour
Beijing-based Space Transportation — also known as Lingkong Tianxing Technology — has been conducting test flights and recently reached speeds of 3,106 mph (5,000 kilometers per hour), four times the speed of sound, according to Chinese media.
The distance from London to New York is 3459 miles or 5566 kilometers. This means that China's new supersonic jet will take just over an hour to cover this distance.
Twice the speed of American aircraft
The Beijing-based firm has developed an alternative engine that is extremely powerful. The so-called Jindouyun engine, or JinDou400, may be able to travel at twice the speed of Concorde. The company claims that in the latest test it was able to reach an altitude of more than 65,600 feet.
what is the new technology
In this new supersonic rocket from China, the compressors and turbine parts found in most rocket engines have been removed. This new technology has been developed by relying on detonation combustion technology.
This technology uses detonation combustion technology to create the required thrust. The shock waves generated by this process compress the incoming air. This change not only reduces weight but also reduces costs. The aircraft is also designed for vertical take-off and landing.
