   Just think now we will be able to reach New York from Mumbai in just 3 hours! The engineers of Research Engines, Oxfordshire, England have prepared a prototype of an aircraft known as A-2.
   

This air craft can accommodate 300 passengers and will fly at the speed of 6400 kms per hour. This speed is more than the speed of sound. European space Agency is highly impressed with this project and this aircraft will be operated within 25 years, depending on the "the requisite political will".

   

This craft is 169 feet long and weighs 400 tonnes - lighter than a Boeing 747. It can fly for 20,000 kms nonstop. This craft will work with hydrogen, but the passengers would have to put up with having no windows, due to heat producing at high speeds inside. In the place of windows they may fit flat screen, giving the impression of looking outside.

   

The fares of the craft would same as the fares of other craft so that it may get good success on commercial basis also.
