An incredible hypersonic airliner could slash London-New York flight times to just 45 minutes.

The revolutionary new aircraft concept, the A-HyM Hypersonic Air Master, aims to transform air travel by flying at Mach 7.3—over 5,600 mph (9,000 kph).

Designed to carry 170 passengers, it could cut the transatlantic journey from the usual seven hours, making transatlantic travel faster than ever before.

Concorde typically flew from London to New York in just under three and a half hours, compared to about eight hours on a subsonic flight.

Spanish designer Oscar Viñals says the A-HyM would cruise at an altitude of 30,000 metres, far above conventional jets, using advanced heat-resistant materials like titanium and carbon fiber to withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C.

Its innovative Sonic Boom Mitigation System aims to reduce the disruptive noise of breaking the sound barrier, potentially allowing supersonic—and even hypersonic—flights over land without disturbing communities below.

Powered by a next-generation hydrogen-fueled combined-cycle engine, the aircraft would blend turbojet, ramjet, and oblique detonation technologies for both speed and eco-friendliness.

Inside, passengers would enjoy spacious, comfortable cabins equipped with virtual panoramic windows and advanced entertainment systems designed to handle the unique conditions of hypersonic flight.

While still a concept, the A-HyM highlights how rapid advances in materials science, propulsion, and aerodynamics are bringing the dream of ultra-fast, sustainable global travel closer to reality.

Oscar Viñals says: "This aircraft concept would allow its users not only to experience a unique flight at dizzying speeds in excellent conditions, but it would also allow them to "master" time, because a trip, for example, from London to Los Angeles would only take an hour and a half, from boarding at Heathrow international airport to disembarking at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport)."
