China regularly, especially in recent months, tends to delight all technology lovers with developments that are not only flashy, but also very powerful and innovative. Along these lines, to give you an example, today I want us to talk about his latest daring, nothing less than the creation of a supersonic plane whose characteristics and capabilities are sure to surprise you.
At the moment the truth is that there are few details that we know of an airplane like this except precisely that there is already a group of researchers belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences who are working on its design and development, it is true that there is still a lot of work ahead to get to know only the first prototype although, as has happened on other occasions, it will arrive before we know it.
We already know the first technical details of the supersonic plane in which the Chinese Academy of Sciences works
Following the first specifications that have come to light, where precisely those responsible for the project tell us what they want to achieve, we talk about the design and manufacture of a new generation of supersonic aircraft whose main objective is to get you to perform a trip departing in Beijing and arriving in New York in just two hours, a relatively short period, especially if we take into account that a traditional plane usually takes about 14 hours to make this same route.
Based on the statements made by the researchers responsible for this project:
It will take just a couple of hours to travel from Beijing to New York at hypersonic speed.
To try to understand a little better the objective that the researchers of this project have ahead of them, tell you for example another series of quite interesting data such as the distance that separates the city of Beijing from New York is no less than 11.000 kilometers which means that to take about two hours to travel from one place to another they literally need to design and manufacture an airplane capable of traveling at a speed of 6.000 kilometers per hour.
At the moment Chinese researchers are working on several possible designs and on checking which one is more interesting.
At the moment there are few details that have seen the light on the possible ideas that this team of researchers may have to develop this project is to create an airplane with two sets of wings, shaped like 'I'uppercase. Thanks to this peculiar design, it is intended to considerably reduce both the turbulence to which the aircraft will be subjected and the resistance it must face while increasing its ability to find that necessary support in the air.
As you can see, at the moment this team of Chinese researchers is working on what may be one of the most critical phases of the project, designing and testing all possible designs, which should precisely provide an optimal solution to the problems of dynamic configuration that have been detected in all supersonic aircraft developed to date by humans, as well as the temperature of more than 1.000 degrees centigrade that they can reach.
China is one of the countries that is investing the most in the development of supersonic aircraft
At this point tell you that this plane, apparently and as confirmed, can be used for many functions, including and how could it be otherwise, to military purposes. However, a Chinese military source has already confirmed that this peculiar supersonic aircraft will serve to transport 'anything' what we intuit includes a wide range of options ranging from people to pumps.
For now, the truth is that China is one of the countries that is investing the most in the development of supersonic aircraft, such is the case that they already have a prototype that is capable of reaching speeds in test flights included between Mach 5 and Mach 10. As is usual, the development protocol of these aircraft involves quite high secrecy, hence there are few data and details that finally come to light.
