Yunxing Hypersonic Jet: China’s Revolution in Global Aviation?

Описание: In this episode, Islamabad Files analyse the new Chinese Yunxing Hypersonic Jet, an aviation revolution, that is in making. Once the Britain-France Concorde was a Mach 2+ supersonic airliner (≈2,180 km/h), 7,222 km range, 60,000 ft cruise altitude, carrying ~100 passengers between London/Paris and New York in under 3.5 hours, powered by four afterburning Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus turbojets with a droop-nose for landing visibility; it proved technologically successful but commercially constrained by high fuel consumption and operating costs.

Islamabad Files also examines the China’s Yunxing Hypersonic Jet, developed by Lingkong Tianxing Technologies, is a near-space, sub-orbital passenger concept targeting ~Mach 4 or beyond (~5,000 km/h) cruise close to the 100 km Kármán Line, aiming to reduce intercontinental travel to ≈2 hours with premium fares (US$30,000), contingent on solving extreme thermal protection, propulsion efficiency, certification, and economic viability challenges.
