7000+mph

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?
