(CNN) Nearly 20 years since the retirement of the super -speed passenger aircraft Concorde.The interest in super -speed travel is growing here, and the development of multiple ultra -high -speed machines is progressing.The airline has already promised that United Airlines will provide super -speed routes in 2029.

But how about a super -speed travel of Mach 5 (5 times the speed of sound)?It takes about 3 hours in Concordon from New York to London, UK, and 6 to 7 hours for regular passenger aircraft, but in just 90 minutes with a super -sound speed machine.

Is that possible?

I believe Harumias, an emerging company in Atlanta in the United States, which is aiming to develop a very super -sound speed machine, is possible.The company has already conducted a new engine test that can reach Mach 5 in the future.The engine is designed with a small unmanned ultrasonic speed machine developed by Harmias for the U.S. Air Force, but if it scales up, it will be a power source for passenger aircraft.

The realization of this passenger aircraft is still ahead, and Harumus wants to carry out the first test flight in 29.However, since the technology of the aircraft needs to be developed from scratch, Harmias has already made a closely planned plan.

First, the aircraft of the aircraft is significantly smaller than the current aircraft and Concorde, which had a capacity of about 100.

"CEO, CEO) of Harumias's A / J. Piprika (CEO)," We first focused on business classes and first -class passengers and then examined elements such as speed and operating costs. As a result, 20 people riding.We have arrived at an aircraft equipped with rooms. "

Since this is not much different from the capacity of large business jets, it is likely to be one class of the aircraft.

"I think we can make a profit at today's business class," said Piprika.However, it is unknown how many people pay for flying at five times speed, and says, "There is no answer to the problem until the product comes out and the actual data can be obtained."
