New Hypersonic Hydrogen-Powered Jet Will Fly You From Europe To Australia In Just 4 Hours

A Swiss start-up, Destinus, is developing a hypersonic, hydrogen-powered passenger jet that could reduce flight times from Europe to Australia to just over four hours.

The eco-friendly hydrogen technology produces heat and water as byproducts, and can potentially reach speeds of 3,790 miles per hour. Destinus is working with Spain's Ministry of Science to advance hydrogen flight technology and bring it closer to reality.
