You can cruise faster than sound, in Stargazer, the first hypersonic commercial jet that arrives in 2030!
Tired of long-haul flights? Us, too! Luckily, you don’t need to fret more as soon you would be able to fly across the world in mere hours and to be more specific, you can fly from US to Japan in just one hour. How, you ask? Well, thanks to Texas-based Venus Aerospace, Hypersonic travel, a concept once related to the realm of science fiction is not fiction anymore, it turned into reality. Stargazer M4—a hypersonic commercial aircraft capable of reaching a maximum speed of Mach 9 (nine times the speed of sound) is at the forefront of this technological revolution. This groundbreaking hypersonic jet promises to redefine the way we travel.
Picture this, watching the iconic Taj Mahal in India and then the Statue of Liberty in New York on the same day. Incredible right? Stargazer M400, Earth’s first hypersonic, reusable aircraft which measures 150 feet long and 100 feet wide, can fly at 6,905 mph at an altitude of 170,000 feet. In comparison to the last commercial supersonic aircraft Concorde—traveled at Mach 2, or about, 1,535 mph it is much much faster.
Venus Aerospace’s flagship jet Stargaze will ascend from a central airport using advanced propulsion systems and leveraging the Venus RDRE Ramjet, the vehicle will accelerate from taxi to cruise speeds of Mach 4 at 110,000 feet with a top speed capable of Mach 9. To sum up, after taking off as a conventional jet, the Stargazer will make a shift into rockets once it reaches altitude. The route it will fly is not technically on the edge of space, or the Karman line, which is 100 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. But it will be high enough to see the planet’s curve and the blackness of space.
The stellar jet features include a range of 5000 miles while maintaining half the emissions. The considerate design dynamic of the jet allows seamless takeoff and landing at different airports despite its varying qualities. Stargazer, designed with cutting-edge aerospace engineering, is capable of reaching speeds and incorporating advanced aerodynamics in the jet helps minimize drag and ensure stability at high altitudes.
Once onboard, up to 12 passengers can cruise at an altitude of 110,000 feet, in contrast to the approximately 38,000 feet a normal commercial plane cruise. They can also witness the ethereal curvature of the earth. Arriving soon in the 2030s, the Venus Stargazer promises a surreal experience heralding a legendary shift for humankind. It will reduce travel time, boost tourism and cultural exchange. It could also revolutionize the way businesses operate, enabling more frequent international meetings and collaborations.
Venus Aerospace aims to price the tickets for their hypersonic jets the same as the current prices of any first class in conventional aircraft. All in all, the future of travel is here, and it’s faster than we ever imagined.
