Fly from London to New York in under four hours! Meet the Son of Concorde

A next-generation supersonic aircraft dubbed the "son of Concorde" is nearing its historic first supersonic flight. The experimental jet could eventually slash commercial travel times between London and New York to under four hours. Nasa’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft is scheduled to hit its first major speed milestone in early June. The jet will surpass speeds of 630mph at an altitude of approximately 43,000 feet during upcoming tests. The Sun brings you breaking news and in-depth analysis on the stories that matter most.
