June 13, 2022

Aerospace startup Venus Aerospace presented a visualization of its future Stargazer hypersonic aircraft. Its advertised speed is about Mach 9, which allows the crew and a small number of passengers to get from Tokyo to Los Angeles in just one hour. Stargazer will take off using engines, but when it reaches the edge of space at an altitude of 52 kilometers, it will switch to "rocket mode". The plane is designed to carry 12 passengers, and its speed exceeds 11,025 km/h, which is almost 9 times the speed of sound.
