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.

Reducing emissions from commercial aircraft is a top priority for the aviation industry. Worldwide, carbon dioxide emissions from jet engines are responsible for around 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (private aircraft contribute a further 1%). While this is less than the emissions from cars and trucks, which account for 12% of global carbon dioxide emissions, it is still significant enough to require urgent action. Airbus and Toshiba believe they have a potential answer to the problem, and their collaboration could bring about transformative changes to aviation.
