The U.S. Air Force is partnering up with the Department of Defenses in order to build an airplane that goes 5 times faster than the speed of light. This is about 3,800 miles per hour. This will get you from New York all the way to London in less than 90 minutes. This would also get you from New York to Las Angeles in less then 30 minutes.
The Match 5 is what this plane will be called and the Air Force is confidant that this plane will be airborne in 2023 which is only 3 years away. Experts say that this type of plane could be made sooner but the mechanics are just being worked out so it is also safe.
“The U.S. is decades ahead of China and Russia who are also building a similar aircraft”-Richard Aboulafia, analyst at aerospace and defense industry advisory firm Teal Group.
This is some awesome news because 2020 was looking bad, but this new invention gave something to look forward to. I think it is cool how you can travel completely across the United States in less than half an hour. The future is upon us and I can’t wait to see it unravel.
