budin 's chinchilla rat ( abrocoma budini ) is a species of chinchilla rat in the family abrocomidae .

found only in argentina , the categorization of this species was based on analysis of four specimens which were caught among the rocks in the clefts of which it lived .

it is specifically known from otro cerro , catamarca province and known to occur in rocky areas over 3,000 meters above sea level ; research shows it may be confined to sierra de ambato in catamarca province and la rioja province .

in 2002 , braun and mares from the university of oklahoma examined this specimen and confirmed it to be a separate species .

ellerman ( 1940 ) considered a . budini a subspecies of a . cinerea but braun and mares ( 2002 ) recognized it as a distinct species .
justification : listed as data deficient and is currently known only from the type locality , and there is no information known about its range , or population status . it most likely occurs more widely than is currently known .
this species is known only from type locality : otro cerro , in catamarca province , argentina at 3 , 000 m asl ( patton and emmons 2015 ) . braun and mares ( 2002 ) suggested that it is probably restricted to sierra de ambato of catamarca and la rioja provinces .
it is known from rocky areas with grasslands over 3 , 000 m asl .

super concorde ( 20 april 1975 – 1987 ) was an american-bred french-trained thoroughbred racehorse and sire .

he was the highest-rated two-year-old in france in 1977 when he won prix de cabourg and prix morny over sprint distances before defeating a strong field in france 's premier race for juveniles , the grand criterium .

he was disappointing in three runs in 1978 and was retired to stud after having won four of his eight races .

that is where bold reasoning sired seattle slew and super concorde , and hunt bred the latter .
standing for a $ 20 , 000 fee , super concorde was a moderate success as a sire , getting 20 stakes winners , including the florida derby winner croesus and g1 winner super may , as well as concorde bound . but super concorde ' s european group winner big shuffle has been the stallion ' s most important link to contemporary pedigrees .
but for the brevity of concorde bound ' s career at stud , perhaps he would be widely recognized as the best stallion son of super concorde on this side of the atlantic .

concorde bound was the second foal out of the stakes - placed grey sister , a daughter of leading broodmare sire iron ruler ( by never bend ) . and concorde bound was one of 20 stakes winners by french highweight super concorde , the “other” son of bold reasoning .
the shallow design allows the super concord to be played from the fairway as well as the rough .
by the early 1970s , concorde had been banned from flying at high speed in most countries throughout the world , making only limited transatlantic flights possible for super - rich passengers .
the breeder sold super concorde as a yearling for $ 200 , 000 , and racing for walter haefner , super concorde won four of his five starts at 2 , including the pair of g1s mentioned above . the colt ' s natural style was to race in front , which he used to win his first three races , including the prix morny .
after fighting his jockey in the prix de la salamandre and finishing fourth , super concorde became more agreeable to rating in the european style and won the grand criterium impressively after being held up .

mike bannister , 65 , from staines , middlesex , first flew concorde as a co - pilot in 1977 before becoming chief pilot in 1995 . he went on to fly the last ever concorde flight in 2003 when the aircraft was officially retired
this aircraft envisioned by airbus has been called the concorde 2 as it has a top speed of mach 4 . 5 .
passenger numbers first dwindled after a concorde aircraft crashed just minutes after take off in paris in 2001 , killing everyone on board .
however , unlike with concorde , the airbus design will limit passengers to just 20 . and it won ' t be cheap .
in addition to being notable for toughness and speed , wicked tune possesses an unusual pedigree . he is inbred 2×3 to the little - known sire concorde bound , a grade 3 stakes winner who died young . from 65 foals , concorde bound sired nine stakes winners ( nearly 15 percent ) . among those stakes winners was concorde ' s tune , a stakes winner and the sire of wicked tune . another of concorde bound ' s nine stakes winners was pretty momma , and she is the second dam of wicked tune .
bold reasoning stood for only three seasons at claiborne farm before his untimely death on april 24 , 1975 , when his first crop were yearlings . his demise was attributed to a breeding - shed accident in which he cracked his pelvis . the injury later led to a severe colic from which he had to be euthanized . among his 61 foals were nine stakes winners ( 15 percent ) , including french champion two - year - old super concorde . in just two full seasons as a stallion , bold reasoning produced seattle slew as well as champion super concord , and seven other stakes winners .

the supersonic concorde plane first flew faster than the speed of sound in the late 1960s , radically ramping up the pace of air travel .
more than a decade after the concorde ' s last flight , nasa invested $ 2 . 3million in research projects aimed at reviving supersonic planes
mr bannister , from staines , middlesex , first flew concorde as a co - pilot in 1977 and then became chief pilot in 1995 .
in the wake of the tragedy in paris , mike played a vital role in making safety improvements to concorde so it could fly again .
concorde was jointly developed and manufactured by aérospatiale and the british aircraft corporation ( bac ) under an anglo - french treaty . concorde ' s name , meaning harmony or union , reflects the cooperation on the project between the united kingdom and france . in the uk , any or all of the type are known simply as ' concorde ' , without an article . twenty aircraft were built including six prototypes and development aircraft .
concorde – built by aerospatiale , a forerunner of airbus , and british aircraft corporation – was the only supersonic passenger airline to successfully enter service .
concorde was a turbojet passenger airliner capable of transatlantic flights in half the time of other airlines . it graced our skies from 1976 - 2003 .
sports stars were also among the passengers . mike tyson flew on concorde , as well as the 1999 champions league - winning manchester united team .
judges ruled that a 17in titanium strip had fallen from a continental dc10 which used the runway earlier , and punctured the concorde ' s tyres .
supersonic passenger planes could once again be racing through the skies with airbus having filed a patent for what could become the ' son of concorde ' .
concorde flights were suspended for a year and four months after the crash , before both air france and british airways grounded them for good in 2003 .
the quiet supersonic technology ( quesst ) project is set to revolutionise air travel with speeds of 1 , 354mph , filling the void left by the concorde .
the first ever concorde to land on american soil which paved the way for supersonic atlantic crossings for the rich and famous is to open to the public .
among other destinations , concorde flew regular transatlantic flights from london heathrow and paris charles de gaulle airport to new york - jfk , washington dulles and barbados .
charles bombardier ' s latest concept jet is capable of reaching mach 24 - more than twice the speed of the skreemr and 12 times faster than concorde .
a £4 , 000 damaged blade removed from one of concorde’s engines that had to be shut down when it ingested a foreign body is also being sold .
the concorde was retired in 2003 , mainly due to the air france flight 4590 crash which killed all 100 passengers and crew plus four people on the ground .
he said : ‘when i retired from british airways in 2004 i was very grateful to be given a number of items of concorde equipment as a thank you .
a former chief pilot of concorde is selling £100 , 000 worth of his aviation memorabilia so he can fund his 20 - year - old daughter through flying school .
prosecutors wanted a two - year suspended prison sentence for frenchman henri perrier , who ran concorde ' s testing programme between 1978 and 1994 , but he was cleared .
‘this is the first time we have been able to offer such an impressive range of artifacts . not only are they scarce but they were essential pieces of concorde operation . ’
the air france concorde was filled with passengers , mostly german tourists , when it caught fire during take - off from paris charles de gaulle airport and crashed into a hotel .
the design from reaction engines , based in oxfordshire , could see passenger jets , called lapcats , reach speeds of mach 5 – two and a half times that of the concorde .
during the trial , continental claimed that the concorde was on fire 700 yards before it hit the piece of metal , but this was rejected by independent investigators and by the judges .
two more frenchmen , concorde engineer jacques herubel and claude frantzen , former head of his country ' s vicil aviation authority , were originally charged follwing the crash but were also cleared .
it was the first concorde ever to land on us soil , and in just three years , made 311 flights , with a total of 642 hours and 28 minutes in the air .
airbus says it has designed the craft ' s aerodynamics to limit sonic boom , making it much quieter than concorde , which some complained was too noisy when it flew over populated areas .
later on , on july 25 2000 , concorde had its first ever crash , with the plane bursting into flames as it took of from paris , later crashing and filling all 190 passengers .
continental ' s defence team had pointed to the fact that concorde ' s tyres frequently exploded during its 27 - year history , with flying debris piercing the fuel tank at least once before .
concorde at heathrow , 2004 . the airliner made a net average profit of roughly £30m a year , ie about £500m net profit over her 27 year commercial lifetime ( dennis stone / rex features )
but unlike the concorde , sound engineers are working on a
low boom
jet that creates a supersonic
heartbeat
instead of the loud boom associated with the previous high - speed airliner .
more than a decade after the last flight of the concorde , nasa has invested $ 2 . 3million ( £1 . 5million ) in eight research projects aimed at reviving the dream of supersonic planes .
an american airline and one of its engineers were ' criminally responsible ' for the devastating concorde crash that killed 113 people and ended the era of supersonic air travel , a french court ruled yesterday .
concorde flew twice the speed of sound and got it passengers from london to new york in just three and a half hours - just half of what it took other commercial planes to fly the journey .
it took more than a decade of testing to convince various authorities that it was safe for commercial flight , and the concorde 10 f - wtsa soon to go on display was instrumental in that process .
however , one of the most significant items up for sale is a piece of the prototype tyre that mr bannister took to meetings with safety authorities in the wake of the 2000 air france concorde crash .
he flew the last ever concorde flight in 2003 when the aircraft was retired due to the general downturn in the aviation industry and following the air france crash of july 2000 in which 113 people died .
other items being sold at the auction include a signed copy of the formation flypast technical programme for the flypast over buckingham palace of concorde and the red arrows to mark the queen’s golden jubilee in 2002 .
concorde 2 would be capable of flying more than four times the speed of sound – or more than 2 , 500mph , according to documents lodged with the us patent office by the aerospace and defence group .
the emergency exit on the plane , which stopped flying in 1976 . concorde was eventually retired altogether in 2003 after its only crash in 2000 - although it was not the sole factor in the discontinuation of the aircraft
concorde ' s designers didn ' t have the technology for affordable supersonic travel , but now we do , ” he said , adding that the company is looking forward to the first boom flight late next year .
this is the painstakingly restored cockpit from the concorde 102 - f - wtsa which was decommissioned in 1975 and was once an empty shell . however , the restoration is now in process and it will open to the public
mike bannister is selling a host of memorabilia including cockpit instruments , a damaged blade , a prototype tyre and the sought - after pitot probe , which sat on the front of the nosecone and defined the concorde’s shape .
mark jennings , of auctioneers chaucer collectables of folkestone , kent , said : ‘the iconic status of concorde has always ensured memorabilia has remained popular but you can’t get much better than sourcing it from the chief pilot himself .
while boom jet will fly at 1 , 451mph - about 100mph faster than concorde - and reach new york from london in just three three and a half hours , it ' s not the only trailblazing aircraft of the future .
it was used by britain ' s rich and powerful . from left to right , mps , anthony crosland , prime minister , james callaghan ( lord callaghan of cardiff ) and denis healey ( lord healey ) , after flight on concorde
their testing helped prove their viability , and after tests were complete , the spacious luxurious cabin inside - that has now been fully restored - was used by world leaders to sign the deal that put commercial concorde flights in the air .
three decades of supersonic travel ended in 2003 , when the final concorde flight landed at london heathrow airport on a transatlantic trip from new york . air france and british airways decided to retire the aircraft because it was no longer profitable .
one item being sold is mr bannister’s retirement present - the long pitot probe on the front of the nose cone that defined the aircraft’s shape . the device , that actually measured concorde’s speed , is valued at 10 , 000 pounds .
the engineer behind the skreemr jet has unveiled another radical , much faster design for future air travel . charles bombadier latest concept jet is capable of reaching mach 24 - more than twice the speed of the skreemr and 12 times faster than concorde

this boom is seen as one of the main reasons concorde was not a commercial success , with noise complaints leading to it being banned from operating at high speed over land by many countries , negating the main attraction of travelling on the jet .
mr bannister will use his profit to help repay his daughter ' s six - figure loan which she took out to fund training as a commercial airline pilot at a flight training school in spain . pictured : a concorde engine blade to be sold
though concorde flew again , the cost of improvement in a post - 9 / 11 world became too much to bear – even as a loss - making badge of prestige – and its retirement flight was made on november 26 , 2003 , pictured above .
also being sold is concorde’s crucial centre of gravity controller which helped move fuel around the jet to balance it so that aircraft drag could be minimised , thus giving it the ability to fly at speeds of 1 , 500mph . it is worth £8 , 500 .
concorde was retired in 2003 due to a general downturn in the commercial aviation industry after the type ' s only crash in 2000 , the september 11 attacks in 2001 , and a decision by airbus , the successor to aérospatiale and bac , to discontinue maintenance support .
concorde was a turbojet - powered supersonic passenger jet that was operated until 2003 . it had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound at mach 2 . 04 ( 1 , 354 mph or 2 , 180 k per hour at cruise altitude ) and could seat 92 to 128 passengers .
the patent filing says : “the air vehicle proposed . . . substantially reduces the noise emitted when the sound barrier is broken , also called the ‘supersonic bang’ ; this noise has been the main limit , if not the only one preventing the opening of lines other than transatlantic ones for concorde . ”
concorde entered service in 1976 and continued flying for the next 27 years . it is one of only two supersonic transports to have been operated commercially . the other is the soviet - built tupolev tu - 144 , which ran for a much shorter period of time before it was grounded and retired due to safety and budget issues .
the new aircraft has a cruising speed of mach 2 . 2 or 1 , 451mph , which is 10 per cent faster than concorde’s speed of mach 2 ( the speed of sound is measured as mach 1 ) and 2 . 6 times faster than other airliners . the new planes are set to carry 40 passengers at a time .

the new jet could fly from london to new york in an hour - opening up the possibility of a transatlantic return journey in a day .
the filings refer to an “ultra - rapid air vehicle” and “method of aerial locomotion” for the aircraft , which would cruise at an altitude of more than 100 , 000ft and carry up to 20 passengers or two or three tons of cargo for distances of about 5 , 500 miles .
flights in the new aircraft look set to be a wild ride , with the rocket motor used in combination with conventional jets to power a “near vertical ascendant flight” until its breaks the sound barrier when the engines are retracted in the fuselage and the ramjets take over .
the aircraft would then cruise on the edge of space , high above conventional aircraft , before slowing down and entering normal air traffic close to its destination .
it ' s afterburning rolls - royce olympus engines powered it to a top speed of mach 2 . 04 – twice the speed of sound or about 1 , 350mph – at an altitude of up to 60 , 000ft while carrying up to 120 passengers . it began scheduled services in 1976 , though only 14 ever went into service .
however , the jets were withdrawn in 2003 following a crash in paris three years earlier , ending the age of travelling faster than sound for all but a select few military pilots .
airbus suggested the market for the new aircraft would be “principally that of business travel and vip passengers , who require transcontinental return journeys within one day” .
it also imagines the military using it for strategic reconnaissance and “ultra - rapid transport of high added - value goods or elite commandos” .
the height the aircraft would fly at gives it “almost total invulnerability to conventional anti - aircraft systems” the designers say , adding that it could also be used for “precision strikes and to take out preferred high added - value targets , for example by high - power electromagnetic pulses ( emp ) ” .
the patent filing contains basic sketches of airbus designers’ ideas but does acknowledge the problem of supersonic aircraft making sonic booms as they break the sound barrier .
details are limited on how the supersonic bang would be reduced , but the height at which the new aircraft would fly and the “narrow” angle of the supersonic shock wave coming off its nose – estimated at between 11 and 15 degrees – would help reduce it because it has a longer distance to dissipate before it reaches the ground .
nasa is working on a new supersonic commercial jet capable of flying from britain to america in just three hours .
like its iconic predecessor , the airliner will be able to easily smash the 767mph sound barrier .
a nasa spokesman said :
nasa is working hard to make flights greener , safer and quieter – all while developing aircraft that travel faster , and building an aviation system that operates more efficiently .
“to that end , it’s worth noting that it ' s been almost 70 years since chuck yeager broke the sound barrier in the bell x - 1 as part of our predecessor agency ' s high speed research .
now we’re continuing that supersonic x - plane legacy with this preliminary design award for a quieter supersonic jet with an aim toward passenger flight .
it is hoped a prototype of the new jet will take to the skies by 2020 .
it currently takes about eight hours for a commercial flight to travel between london and new york .
until the tragedy - the only crash in the airliner ' s history - the plane was considered one of the safest in the world , and could cross the atlantic in just three and a half hours .

sir richard branson has unveiled the prototype for a new supersonic aircraft that promises to halve air travel times and send passengers between london and new york in three hours and 15 minutes .
the xb - 1 has been nicknamed “baby boom” and is claimed to be the world’s fastest civil aircraft ever made and promises to give passengers “affordable” supersonic travel . while the first commercial flight is not expected until 2023 , the price of a flight between london and new york is currently set at £2 , 500 each way .
“i have long been passionate about aerospace innovation and the development of high - speed commercial flights , ” the virgin founder said . “as an innovator in the space , virgin galactic’s decision to work with boom was an easy one . we’re excited to have an option on boom’s first 10 airframes . ”
despite other aerospace companies such as boeing and lockheed martin developing their own supersonic spacecraft , virgin and boom are hoping to beat the competition to market as the aircraft uses existing technology that has already been approved by regulators .
boom’s development of the new aircraft has been done in partnership with sir richard’s spaceship company , which is attached to virgin galactic . the company will provide engineering and manufacturing services to boom , in addition to test flight support and operations , and sir richard has signed an option to buy the first 10 airframes .
ahead of the unveiling , blake scholl , ceo and founder of start - up boom , said :
60 years after the dawn of the jet age , we ' re still flying at 1960s speeds .
the subsonic test flight of the xb - 1 will take place east of denver , colorado , while the supersonic test flights will take place near edwards air force base in southern california .
but its retirement in 2003 put a stop to the future of futuristic flights .
when the jet finally retired two years later , operators air france and british airways blamed reduced passenger numbers and soaring maintenance costs . con
but the iconic plane is about to have a successor , when boom supersonic launches a smaller , faster version next year .
the company , backed by sir richard branson , is undertaking both subsonic and supersonic tests in the us .
they ' ll be conducted at edwards air force base in southern california in partnership with virgin galactic ' s the spaceship company .
if the ' baby boom ' 55 - seater plane is approved , it will make its extreme speed flight across the atlantic by 2023 .
blake scholl , the founder and chief executive of the company , revealed the details at the paris air show .
he told the bbc :
by using a modern turbofan engine like boeing and airbus , you can make the aircraft both quieter and significantly more fuel efficient .
the baby boom jet is tipped to cost more than $ 200m ( £160m ) to build .
a one - way fare from london to new york could cost around £2000 for the three hour and 15 minute flight .
by breaking the sound barrier , the plane journey will cut travel time in half to many of the world ' s most visited destinations .
when plans for the supersonic jet were first revealed in november , the company promised to cut travel time from la to sydney , normally a 15 - hour trip , to just six hours and 45 minutes .

the prototype plane helped convince american authorities that it was safe and after being decommissioned in 1975 , the inside of the plane is now being restored to its former glory .
after a decade on the tarmac at orly outside paris , the delta museum is restoring it with the help of british donors , and making sure every tiny detail on the 102 - f - wtsa is as it was in its prime .
while it will never fly again , the restoration team have had to source and recreate original parts for the inside of the plane , which has entire walls of tiny dials and knobs . even the seats look as they would have done in the mid - 1970s
us authorities originally said they would never allow an aircraft with a sliding nose ( pictured , left ) - the part which allowed the plane to move so fast ) . however , the crucial tests done by this prototype helped convince the authorities to allow a commercial service
the aircraft was once an empty shell , but already , every dial and stick has been painstakingly put together to create the cockpit where pioneering pilots flew the plane from 40 years ago .
in its heyday , when the glamorous days of air travel were at the peak , it ferried film stars , musicians and politicians across the atlantic in what became known as a party in the sky .
for those in peril : the stomach - lurching moment ship ' s crew . . .
with stunning air hostesses and caviar guaranteed , sean connery , robert redford , the bee gees , phil collins and mick jagger are all included in the plane ' s star - studded passenger list .
world leaders would be taken between the globe ' s corridors of power , with france ' s jacques chirac taking the plane , as well as former british prime ministers tony blair and john major .
major broadcasters would use the service , and david frost considered himself the plane ' s most frequent flyer , using it an average of twenty times a year for twenty years .
the entrance to the iconic plane , which is currently being restored and will open more than 40 years since it last flew in 1975 . even the safety sign next to it has been recreated
at one point , he was flying from london to new york weekly as he was presenting a show in both britain and america , and it took around half the time of other services .
also in 1999 , on the eve of the ryder cup in 1999 , spain’s jose maria olazabal putted the world ' s longest ever putt during a flight to the united state .
with the plane travelling at 1 , 270 mph , the ball was in motion for 9 . 232 miles as it moved towards the cup along the 150 - ft cabin in 26 . 17 seconds .
however , the american authorities were at first incredibly concerned about the design of the plane , and initially said that it would never land on us soil .
the aircraft was one of two prototype planes , used in research and development by british airways and air france when considering buying the planes from developers british aircraft corporation .
in its heyday , when the glamorous days of air travel were at the peak , it ferried film stars , musicians and politicians across the atlantic in what became known as a party in the sky . in this picture , queen elizabeth is seen reading newspapers on the way back from barbados
major broadcasters would use the service , and david frost ( left ) considered himself the plane ' s most frequent flyer , using it an average of twenty times a year for twenty years . jeremy clarkson also used the aircraft , and piers morgan ( background )
when their job was done , their engines were scrapped and used for parts by air france but the shell was displayed outside the airport at orly . however , in 1985 , the aéroport de paris decided that they should be scrapped
while model 101 was destroyed , there was a campaign to maintain the vital part of france ' s flying history and model 102 was saved .
the crash was the beginning of the end for the iconic plane , which flew its last flight in 2003 after a massive drop in demand following the crash in 2000 and the september 11 attacks .
also , a decision was made by airbus , the successor to aérospatiale and bac , to discontinue maintenance support .
it was first flown in 1969 , but needed further tests to establish it as viable as a commercial aircraft .
air france ( af ) and british airways ( ba ) each received seven aircraft . the research and development failed to make a profit and the two airlines bought the aircraft at a huge discount .
it flew these routes in less than half the time of other airliners . over time , the aircraft became profitable when it found a customer base willing to pay for flights on what was for most of its career the fastest commercial airliner in the world .
the aircraft is regarded by many as an aviation icon and an engineering marvel , but it was also criticized for being uneconomical , lacking a credible market , and consuming more fuel to carry fewer passengers than a boeing 747 .

boom jet claims to offer ' affordable ' supersonic travel with 3 . 5 hour journey from london to new york priced $ 5000
last week richard branson announced virgin is set to order 10 supersonic boom jets , which the manufacturer claims will herald a new era of ' affordable ' supersonic travel .
from flight paths that reach the earth ' s upper most atmosphere to aircraft with rocket boosters , mailonline travel rounds up the concept planes set to transform journey times and kick start supersonic travel .
sir richard branson is set to order 10 supersonic jets , which the manufacturer claims will herald a new era of ' affordable ' supersonic travel . the airline tycoon has confirmed that virgin has options to buy 10 of the recently revealed supersonic boom jets
the firm hopes london to new york could be one of its most popular routes , with a 3 . 6 hour saving on a normal flight
the 40 - seater aircraft , boom is being built by former amazon executive blake scholl to fly from london to new york in three and a half hours with a ticket costing $ 5 , 000 . scholl said about 500 routes fit the craft ' s market , including a five - hour trip from san francisco to tokyo and a six - hour flight from los angeles to sydney .
sir richard branson set to usher in new era of ' affordable ' . . .
the cast of frozen , an arrow pointing to the loo and a . . .
it will be split into two single - seat rows , so everybody has a window and an aisle . to reduce weight , the seats are of the standard domestic first - class variety , so no lay - down beds .
to cut flight time , boom ' s plane will cruise at 60 , 000 feet , where passengers will be able to see the curvature of the earth , while going 2 . 6 times faster than other passenger planes .
the projects will look at how to reduce the noise of sonic booms in order to reintroduce the flights , how to improve fuel efficiency and how to limit the impact on the ozone , among other things .
when it comes to the future of travel , passengers are eager to see flight times drastically reduced .
a concept aircraft called skreemr aims to do just that by exceeding mach 10 ( 10 times the speed of sound ) with a flight from london to new york taking about half an hour .
designers charles bombardier and ray mattison have dreamed up a launch system that would see the hypersonic plane , powered by liquid - oxygen or kerosene rockets , catapulted into the sky , where it would ultimately reach speeds of nearly 7 , 700mph .
a supersonic plane is one that flies faster than the speed of sound , at mach 1 or greater , using a jet engine .
mach 2 . 5 is about the speed limit for gas - turbine engines .
any faster and the temperature and pressure of air entering the engine is too high for the turbo machinery inside .
to fly at hypersonic speed - mach 5 and above - requires a different type of engine such as a supersonic - combustion ramjet , or scramjet .
these engines have no moving parts . instead of the rotating compressor and turbine in a jet engine , air is compressed and expanded by complex systems of shockwaves under the front of the aircraft , inside the inlet and under the fuselage at the rear .
travel becomes hypersonic when temperatures get so hot that air molecules become unstable and begin losing electrons . at these speeds the air becomes an electrically - charged field .
at supersonic speeds , air moves through a series of channels until is slowed down to a point where fuel can be more easily injected and ignited . this releases energy and thrust .
at hypersonic speed , this air moves even faster , which makes it difficult to slow down to the speed of sound and therefore requires specialist fuel and technologies , as seen in engines including the pulse detonation engine ( pde ) .
air reacts like a fluid to supersonic objects . as objects travel through the air , molecules are pushed aside with great force and this forms a shock wave much like a boat creates a bow wave . the width of the so - called boom ' carpet ' beneath the aircraft is around one mile ( 1 . 6km ) for each 1 , 000ft ( 304 metres ) of altitude
the sonic boom is created when an aircraft or other type of vehicle flies overhead faster than the speed of sound .
air reacts like a fluid to supersonic objects . as objects travel through the air , the air molecules are pushed aside with great force and this forms a shock wave much like a boat creates a bow wave . the bigger and heavier the aircraft , the more air it displaces .
british aerospace firm bae systems announced this year it has invested in a company that is working on an engine that would slash the flight time between london and sydney to just four hours .
that would allow it to fly from london to new york in an hour . and airbus claims the jet would be able to complete trips such as tokyo to los angeles in just three hours .
the aircraft would climb vertically and break the sound barrier as it soars horizontally .
these details have been taken into account in the computer - generated illustrations shown on patent yogi ' s youtube channel , the proposed craft is described as ' the highest rollercoaster in the world ' because of the steep ascent and descent - and high speed - of its flight path .
the patent describes how three different types of engine , powered by different forms of hydrogen , would work together to propel the vehicle at speeds of 3 , 425mph ( 5 , 500km / h ) .
two turbo jets would allow the aircraft to climb vertically at take - off , before retracting into the fuselage just before it reaches the speed of sound .
a rocket motor would take it to an altitude of 100 , 000 feet ( 30 , 000 metres ) . the wing - mounted ramjets would then take control to push the jet to its final speed .
dubbed the ' antipode ' , it can carry 10 people up to 12 , 430 miles ( 20 , 000km ) in under an hour , allowing it to travel from london to new york in just 11 minutes .
the canadian engineer behind the skreemr concept plane was contacted by engineer joseph hazeltine , who proposed using a novel aerodynamic phenomenon called ' long penetration mode ( lpm ) to draft an entirely new hypersonic concept— ' the antipode . '
