Concorde reborn

Transatlantic flights have never been the same since Concorde flights came to a halt in 2003. The British-French turbojet, which still holds the record for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic by a commercial aircraft after cruising at more than twice the speed of sound, made its final flight in June 2003, the last time travellers could fly to the US in under three hours

Enter Spike Aerospace’s Spike S-512 Supersonic Jet

The Spike S-512 has been designed to transport up to 18 passengers and travel at a speed of Mach 1.6, with the ability to do 3,000-mile trips including the likes of typically long-haul journeys such as London to New York or Dubai to Hong Kong in around three and a half hours, all 'while maintaining low sonic boom.'

Spike Aerospace are hoping to begin sending humans in the aircraft for trials next year in the hope that it might be ready for commercial flights by 2028.
