Beijing-based Lingkong Tianxing Technology, also known as Space Transportation, has successfully tested a prototype aircraft capable of reaching Mach 4, which is equivalent to approximately 4,930 km/h. This achievement places the company’s technology at twice the speed of the Concorde, which was one of the most iconic supersonic passenger jets, capable of flying at around 2,150 km/h. This leap in speed represents a significant advancement in supersonic aviation, heralding a new era of ultra-fast travel for both civilian and potential military applications.

Imagine soaring from New York to London in less time than it takes to finish an average movie. NASA’s recent groundbreaking venture is aimed at revolutionizing transatlantic travel. They’ve embarked on the creation of a supersonic passenger jet that boasts a blistering top speed of Mach 4 (approximately 4,900 km/h). To put this in perspective, this not only doubles Concorde’s impressive Mach 2 (2,450 km/h) speed but also outpaces the famed SR-71 Blackbird spy plane that had a design speed of Mach 3.2 (3,920 km/h).
