    Yeah, but if it costs more than $100,000 who's going to be able to afford it?

    this right here is the wave of the future my friend yes it might cost a nice penny but after awhile jus like anything else the price will drop and it will be just like traveling today...

    are you on cra*k? Do you have any idea how much fuel/energy it takes to push a vehicle that fast?

    as far as the fuel tanks go yes it might take some pretty good sized tanks, but i am a mechanic, and it takes a fine spray or mist like when using a windex bottle it sprays a fine mist out of the bottle, the same goes for engines. now this is a turbine engine and the thrust comes from the turbine spinning ince th turbine is spinning in circular motion there just has to be enough pressure to keep the turbine spinning, which is not much.

    I dont care about the mechanics of it, to push a plane to mach 10 for a sustained period would require a shitload of fuel! And with the price of oil unless they engineer an alternatively fueled mach 10 jet this will never be a standard form of transportation unless you are Bill Gates.

    haha yeah but wouldn't it be good to afford that. There are more people out there that piss away millions of dollars a yr.

    the thread starter was just showing us some new technology. 10 years from now or sooner maybe some of this technology will help us common folk airplanes travel faster.

    Do you think before you type at all? it's a scram jet, there are no turbine blades. It's basically a tube you dump fuel into, almost no moving parts at all.

    Nice sig, is that new, or have I been asleep.


    Back on topic, this is a remote control airplane!

    have you worked on a turbine engine before hotshot?...i do everyday...they dont fly but they sit inside an M1A1...that would be a big fu..ing tank...and there is very minimal difference between that engine in a plane and the one in the tank...and yes it does dump fuel but not like you think...and smart guy...there is something called a fuel rod that is used in these turbine engines...and what ever fuel is not being consummed by the engine in itself...gets dumped back into the tank...now as far as the rest of the statement i was trying to make sense for those that dont work on engines in cars or anyother moving object with an engine....

    Um, this aircraft is unmanned, remote control. It is only 12ft long.

    this is were i say the turbine will come into play, first of to get the jet off the ground and get it to a managable speed once at the required speed which a 747 does 500 plus mph using a turbine engine, same consept witht h scarm, get it up to speed kick the turbine off then the air flow does the rest along with the pressurized fuel system....therefore this was my point you will need a turbine to take of and land the craft in the future unless they come up with some other way to get it off the ground and back down for landing...

    Yeah, that is probably how they would do it. I just don't think a multi-mach jetliner is gonna happen in our lifetime. Energy costs alone would be crazy if you could even carry enough. Cost to build and design such a plane would be enormous, and pretty exotic materials need to be used because of the heat generated by the air hitting the airplane at those speeds. I fly a lot and as much as I hate the coach busses of the sky's, I think that's all were gonna get.

    Bro you definetly got a point on the materials and cost no arguments there, but it would be a hell of alot better than flying coach in them 2ft seats...by the way were are you from man?
