as posted by the channel

While Concorde may have offered supersonic transatlantic flights, startups like Destinus and Hermeus have ambitions to ferry passengers hypersonically at 5 times the speed of sound. That would enable you to travel from Sydney to Frankfurt in 4 hours as opposed to 20. But right now the companies are still building small models and testing engines. So will hypersonic flight ever be a reality?

I'm George Downs, a WSJ video journalist fascinated by how technology is changing how we get from A to B. If you're interested in the future of mobility or how modern transportation—from EVs to eVTOLs, and beyond— can impact our lives, then don't forget to subscribe.
