LONDON (Reuters) - British aviation engineers are developing a powerful, light-fast engine that cuts travel time across the world, according to Sky News.
The engine will reduce travel time between Sydney and London to 4 hours, while traveling between London and New York will not exceed one hour.
The engine, dubbed the "SABER", allows a speed of 5.4 mash, or 6,400 kilometers per hour, which seems like a fantasy right now.
Experts say the aircraft, which will fly these flights in record time, will be able to exceed the speed of sound by five or six times.
The hybrid engine, which relies on oxygen and hydrogen, will be cheaper than the engine currently in use, and is likely to allow the aircraft to fly in space, according to technical reports.
This engine will revolutionize aviation and space.
Scientists are betting on this engine to guide the development of so-called "space planes" - vehicles that can fly as a plane in the atmosphere in the Earth, but they can also move in space vacuum, that is, they will be able to take off horizontally, and then turn into something like a rocket .
