Pre Owned Compass Melbourne: Could Hypersonic Travel Be The Future?

Ever since Concord was decommissioned in 2003, supersonic travel hasn’t been at the forefront of people’s minds. The reality is, that in its present state, supersonic travel is just too expensive. But now, the European Space Agency (ESA) is working on the next step in air travel: the hypersonic plane. It would be capable of flying from Sydney to London in just an incredible four hours. That’s five times the speed of sound!

It’s not the first time hypersonic travel has been attempted. In the 60s, tests took place where a pilot was able to reach hypersonic speeds for 90 seconds before the fuel burnt out. Hopefully, the new ideas are slightly more fuel-efficient than this…

Of course, announcements like this seem to be made every couple of years, yet we very rarely seem to witness the reality. Over the past few years alone, we’ve seen airline companies and space agencies promise glass ceiling planes, passenger space travel (wheeled out every couple of years on slow news days) and super-jet planes. In the meantime, we should console ourselves with journeys we can actually make in four hours. And some of the best ones are not in the sky but on the ground.

While the idea of being in London for lunch sounds great, it’s unlikely to happen any time soon. But in a pre-owned Jeep Patriot Melbourne becomes the start of your journey to a secluded beach, mountaintop or the Outback, all within just four hours. Now that’s an incredible journey that could happen today.

And what’s more, in a Jeep Patriot, Dodge Nitro or Chrysler 300C Melbourne, you’ll feel like you’re making the journey in first class. No being crammed into economy for you, there’ll be plenty of room to stretch your legs and relax.

Let’s not get too carried away with what might happen in the future. Let’s celebrate what we are capable of today. It might be possible to go a long way in four hours but it’s not the distance travelled that makes a journey a great one, it’s how much you enjoy it. And while looking down at the Earth from a hypersonic capsule might be nice, we reckon the Aussie countryside could give it a run for its money.

So while we’re all waiting for the boffins at the ESA to actually build their hypersonic creation, let’s make the most of our time back here on Earth. Jump in the Patriot and drive, who knows where you could be in four hours time?
