HyperMach the next big thing since Virgin Galactic space flights

A range of air travel options are available to both business and leisure flyers. But, what options for travel will be available to air travel passengers in the future? And how will this make a positive impact on all our lives?

Imagine flying at speeds of up to 2,664mph  - Mach 3.6 (twice as fast as Concorde). One day this luxury jet will be available for hire with 20 other fellow passengers. Nobody has ever travelled that fast before. Flying from Paris to New York would take less than 2 hours and London to Sydney in three and a half hours. SonicStar is set to achieve these world record passenger flight times with it's new futuristic VIP jet.


The project was founded by HyperMachs CEO Richard Lugg. HyperMach claim that the SonicStar will be 30 per cent more fuel efficient than the Rolls-Royce engines which were used on it's predecessor – The Concord. It will also fly at twice the speed of the Concord – radically cutting journey times. High tech light weight materials such as composite metals and titanium will be used in the build of the aircraft to reduce weight and maintain structural integrity.

HyperMach have named the propulsion system: S-MAGJET. Unlike conventional jet engines the S-MAGJET system is based on a hybrid gas turbine engine technology. This will dramatically lower it's Carbon Footprint.

An electromagnetic current will be passed across the fuselage to suppress the sonic boom. This means that at supersonic thrust speed – spectators on the ground will not hear a supersonic boom. This technology empowers the super plane to overcome the noise regulations that currently restrict supersonic travel.

The British Department of Trade and Industry is investing in the project and the plane is set to be airborne in 2021. The project will have a huge impact on both the commercial and private aviation sector and no doubt create thousands of jobs.

The SonicStar will revolutionise private jet charter by cutting journey times making more achievable in the business day. Until 2021, jet operators and jet charter  consultancy firms will have wait until the SuperSonic is released.
