The makers of a new supersonic plane that could once fly between New York and London in 90 minutes have revealed the luxurious interior of the plane.
Spike Aerospace’s S-512 Supersonic Jet will have no windows to increase fuel efficiency and keep the cabin quiet, according to the Telegraph.
Instead, the interior walls will be lined with an extra-long computer screen that can be divided into individual TVs.
S-512 is Spike’s contribution to the booming supersonic aircraft market, which reappears almost two decades after the disappearance of the Concorde aircraft. Concorde could make the transatlantic voyage in three hours.
Unlike the Concorde, which carries up to 100 people, the S-512 will have a maximum capacity of 18 leaflets, the Telegraph said. The new jet is also slower, but can travel on land because it produces a lighter sound boom than its predecessor, said its designer.
“Concorde was ridiculously noisy,” Spike CEO Vik Kachoria told Telegraph.
“Most conversations between two people are between 65 and 75 decibels, and the noise level found in most aircraft cabins is about 85 decibels. Our windowless aircraft will have about 60 decibels, so less than the sound of a conversation. ”
The jet seats will also be convertible – so the cabin can be transformed into a meeting room, bedroom or living room.
Concorde traveled at Mach 2.04, or twice the speed of sound. The new Spike jet will start on March 1.6, twice as fast as any jet on the market, the Telegraph said.
The company hopes to reach Mach 3.2 sometime in the next decade, which would allow flights between London and New York in less than 90 minutes.
