The Venus Stargazer M4 hypersonic jet, developed by Venus Aerospace in collaboration with Velontra, is set to revolutionize air travel with its first test flight scheduled for 2025! Stargazer M4 aims to reach Mach 6 (3,600 mph) at an altitude of 170,000 feet, cutting #London to #NewYork travel to just 1 hour! But what does this mean for us? At such altitudes, the human body faces extreme G-forces and low-oxygen conditions, demanding excellent physical health for pilots and passengers alike. Prolonged exposure to these speeds and altitudes could increase stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, posing a risk to those not in top health. It’s not just luxury, but a health requirement. The cost is another challenge—flights could initially cost millions per trip, making it viable only for high-net-worth individuals and businesses. Add to that, the regulatory and safety certification process for hypersonic travel could take years to finalize, meaning this technology won't become widespread in the near future. While it promises a breakthrough in speed and efficiency, hypersonic travel might not be suitable for the average traveler for quite some time.
Already know potencial PAX'es :D

2moThat 1 hour flight is so impressive; however, the costs to health is indeed a challenge. I hadn't heard that specific insight yet - thanks for sharing!
