It can potentially get from London to Sydney in one hour, and the last test they did on this thing got to Mach 22  |
I'd be far more excited about this if it wasn't a military jet that was envisioned to be able to bomb anywhere in the world in an hour. I guess one can argue that the technology used in this jet will be used in other projects for other ends, but I also know how long the military likes to keep it's intellectual property (in most cases).
A link from the same article... THIS is where the future is I think!
