		<description>People, people, if i read that right, it said the plane will go mach25. Impossible!!!!!!!!!!
The USAF have built planes that have went Mach10, but they all blow up!!!!!!! And Jack Welsh, anita is not dumb that is just what she thinks. And nick, oh your real nice, how about this, learn to spell YOU right and learn how to use a PERIOD you IDIOT. And you ,NOT JACK WELSH, your just as bad...Moron!!!!!!!!!! Why can`t you people just talk about the plane without SLAMMING each other.</description>

		<description>Duuh. DAVE wrote : &quot;the concord cut trips from the uk to the us from 8hr to 2 it never got out of the luxury market.&quot;
DUUH DAVE. Be advised that Boeing, who has yet to master mere super-sonic flight commercially, got Concorde banned from virtually the entire USA - in all but NYC airport(s). So much for the rigged and protectionist gawd of the &quot;FREE MARKET&quot; and &quot;FREE ENTERPRISE&quot;!

		<description>Obio,

It&#039;s quite possible that you didn&#039;t read this carefully enough: &quot;The Astrox Corporation, along with their partners, has successfully designed and tested a combustor for the Astrox space plane.&quot; In fact, it was tested in a windtunnel at Mach 2.

As far as the image goes, It was released by the Astrox Corporation, not from the writer. I found that out by doing some of my own research into this awesome plane.</description>

		<description>The word you are all missing is &quot;utilization&quot;.

How much time does the airplane spend in the air, moving passengers and freight, vs. how much time does it spend on the ground, loading and unloading?

It currently takes a Boeing 777 about 13 hours to fly from Dallas/Fort Worth to Tokyo Narita.  It takes an hour or two on each end to unload and load and refuel and reprovision, and then it does it again.

This bird will probably be smaller than the 777, so it won&#039;t carry as many passengers.  It will take less turnaround time on the ground (30 minutes is probably the lower limit, and I think that is what Southwest gets on their 737s).  The key is that it will take one or two hours in the air, instead of 12 or 13, which means that it can probably fly three to four times as many DFW/NRT hops per day as the 777.

At that point, if the Astrox carries only one-fourth as many passengers as the 777, and if the price of the Astrox is comparable to the price of the 777, then the Astrox becomes COMPETITIVE with the 777, which means that passenger fares on the Astrox will ALSO become COMPETITIVE with fares on the 777.  The second-order effect is that Astrox business travel fares will probably be higher, because the shorter trip time is worth something in and of itself.

Further, if the Astrox is competitive with the 777 for the standard passenger market, there will be some number of executive airplanes sold, where the cost per passenger-mile is not the overriding concern, but rather the convenience for the very high dollar businessman.  (There are Boeing 767s doing luxury charter flights, in which the crew significantly outnumbers the passengers.)

And, depending on the actual economics, it may turn out that this thing will be a lot cheaper than merely &quot;competitive&quot; with the 777.  When Convair first flew the B-58 &quot;Hustler&quot;, they were very pleasantly surprised to learn that supersonic flight was not nearly as expensive in fuel burn as they thought it would be.  If something like that happens, and the Astrox turns out to be significantly less expensive than the 777, on comparable routes,  things get interesting in a hell of a hurry.</description>

		<description>You guys talk about nobody would be willing to pay 100k.  However, there are a lot of people who have already plunked down the cash for a ride on Virgin Galactic.  On that they get way less than 30 minutes of &quot;Space Shuttle Views&quot;.  Further, if they can do what they claim, there is no reason from that height they can&#039;t drop off a secondary launcher similar to the pegasus launch vehicle that would place a satillite in orbit.  The profit on that type of run alone would cover their expense.  For the guy who said scramjets have been around for years and they don&#039;t work, there was one tested earlier this year that successfully achieved hypersonic combustion.  The basis of this companies claims is that they have conquored one of the main problems facing the development of hypersonic scramjet engines.</description>

		<description>the S.R. 71 BLACKBIRD did long time ago flying as a testbed testing such engine ! (USAF)
including tests with the D.21  super sonic DRONE.

probable the russians did also some testing without the expected results.
(considering their russian standards ofcourse)

future problems of such flights will be the price of a ticket and most of it the islam terrorists trying to blow up such a plane in flight.
(ofcourse with much collateral damage on the ground too if this happens above populated areas )</description>
