Skylon plane believed to be capable of circling the Earth in 4 Hours

Skylon spaceplane designed for stage-to-orbit single by British company Reaction Engines Limited (REL), using SABRE, combined-cycle, breathing rocket propulsion systems, potentially reusable for 200 flights. According to theory, the cost per kilogram payload into low earth orbit brought in this way is expected to be reduced from the current £15,000/kg (as of 2011), including research and development, to about £650/kg, with costs expected to fall over time to time after the initial outlay has been amortized. In 2004, the developers estimate the total life cost of the program to be about $12 billion.

Skylon.

Skylon, with a capacity of 300 passenger aircraft with the latest technology in this engine sector could orbit the Earth in just four hours. Currently the aircraft is still in the development stage and brought the latest engine system.

Reported by Ubergizmo (12/19/2014), this commercial aircraft was using the technology in which the air entering the engine named Sabra will be cooled to the temperature dropped to -1000 degrees Celsius in just one second.

Technology is what triggers the performance of the engine with a very fast mechanism to be able to generate greater power and potential to have speeds up to Mach 5.5, or 7242 km/h.

In fact, in theory this plane can fly up into space. In addition, the engine was reinforced with strong materials to keep him survive in the long-term use.

The Skylon plane will have a length of 276 feet and will be priced at 1.1 billion euros. Skylon inaugural flight is scheduled to perform at the upcoming 2019.

If the aircraft is airworthy and can operate as a passenger aircraft, not shut kemunginan if later time air travel one continent to another with no time range.

But with a price tag of up to 1.1 billion euros, of Skylon not be the main choice of the commercial airline fleet in the world.
