Chinese team test jet engine ‘able to reach anywhere on Earth within 2 hours’
Scientists in China claim to have built a hypersonic jet engine—called "sodramjet"—that can fly at 16 times the speed of sound. This means that an aircraft kitted out with such engines could fly anywhere in the world in two hours, according to the scientists. (interestingengineering.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Ah! So they’d be able to send Kung Fu flu anywhere in the world in two hours...interesting.........
Well having an engine that will go Mach 16 is great ..... now develop an airplane/airframe to go with it that won't melt and can carry a useful load.
I suspect the only thing that will come out of this will be a hypersonic missile of some sort.

This is the aviation version of vaporware.
wylie coyote rocket?
Only if they have stolen it from someone else, and if anyone else had one the world would know it. There are two countries with aerospace technology capability to do such a thing, and China is not one of them
so around 12,500 miles per hour.
Oh yeah - THAT is surely practical!
