Spike Aerospace is a company based in Boston, Massachusetts. It makes aircraft that are like something out of a science fiction novel. The company says that its S-512 Supersonic Business Jet can fly from New York to London in just 3 hours. The private jet can reach a maximum speed of 1,370 miles per hour, which is 1.8 times faster than the speed of sound. Now, passengers might be able to fly all over the world for a simple day trip and still be back home by bedtime. Although it was first introduced in a 2013 research paper, the jet has gone through some important changes that have made its actual production possible. The newly designed “delta” wings are how the jet is able to travel so fast, as their shape makes the jet lighter and better able to cut through pockets of warm air. The inside of the jet is called the “Multiplex Cabin”, and instead of windows for passengers to look out of, small cameras show images on thin screen on the wall. This means you can watch whatever you want, whenever you want. However, not anyone will be able to fly on the S-512 because it will likely cost around $80 million. Spike Aerospace hopes to start offering its private jet for sale in December 2018.
