Paris to Tokyo in Two and a Half Hours
The
EADS showed their concept rocket plane
"Zero Emission Hypersonic Transportation" (Zehst). Their hopes are
that they will be able to fly from Paris to Tokyo in 2.5 hours. They plan on
this plane being able to fly between 50 and 100 passengers. This aircraft will
use bio-fuel made from seaweed and will also stick to the theme of most of the
concept planes we have seen by putting out much lower pollution levels.
Unfortunately their goal is to have this plane flying by 2050, so it will be a
while before we ever see one flying, that is if we live to see one flying.
