🚀 A Game-Changing Moment in Supersonic Aviation
Supersonic travel is no longer just a futuristic dream. A US-based aerospace company, Venus Aerospace, has successfully tested a cutting-edge propulsion system that could dramatically reduce international flight times.
🔥 The Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE)
In a groundbreaking test conducted on May 14 at Spaceport America in New Mexico, Venus Aerospace demonstrated the world’s first Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE).
Unlike conventional engines that burn fuel continuously, this innovative system uses spinning detonations to generate extreme thrust — making it more powerful and efficient.
✈️ The Stargazer: A Supersonic Jet for the Future
The company plans to integrate this engine into its upcoming supersonic jet, named Stargazer.
Key Features:
-
Speed: Up to Mach 4 (around 4,900 km/h)
-
Route: New York to Paris in just 55 minutes
-
Capacity: Up to 12 passengers
-
Launch Window: Expected by the early 2030s
-
Estimated Cost: Around $33 million
💬 A Milestone 5 Years in the Making
Venus Aerospace CEO Sarah Duggleby described the test as the company’s “defining moment” after five years of development and dedication.
🌍 A New Era in Global Travel
If approved for commercial use, the Stargazer could transform long-distance travel for high-end passengers, connecting major cities in under an hour.
This breakthrough targets high-income markets like the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and other tech-forward nations seeking faster, more efficient air travel.
