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.
