Venus Aerospace making a hypersonic jet which can be one of the fastest jet ever. The name of plane will be Stargazer which can carry 12- 13 passengers at one time and cover the of about 11,700 thousand kilometer per hour.
The hypersonic jet is promising to cover Tokyo to New York, in only 1 hour. If your are Indian you can understand with example as, it will take 1 hour to cover distance from Delhi to New York.
Commercial Supersonic And Hypersonic Jet
Many companies are trying to make commercial jets which can run over the speed of sound. Many companies are making supersonic jets and others are making hypersonic jets.
Some Companies Names Are
Denver based Boom supersonic is the leading firm in the field, with its Overture jet.
Destinus, Hermeus, and Venus Aerospace are some names of companies which are making Hypersonic Jet.
First think, what is the speed of an average flight ? So the answer is, the speed is about 880 to 927 kilometers per hour.

Supersonic means faster than speed of sound, and hypersonic is 5 times the speed of supersonic. The speed of sound in room temperature is about 343 meters per second and in kilometer it is 1234 km/hr.
The first ever flight to achieve Hypersonic
The first hypersonic flight was the two stage Bumper rocket in 1949, the top speed is about Mach 67. Speed of sound at 0° is about 1192 kilometers per hour which is equals to Mach 1.
The main problem of hypersonic aircrafts is major heating issue in body of the aircraft. Metals which are using in today's flight will be melted in hypersonic flight because of the pressure produce by the speed. And these flight are very expensive because its fuel intake in very high, average is very low and at this speed, one small mistake can cause accident, so these are very risky also, whereas no accident registered through hypersonic flights.
The study of hypersonic aircrafts or flight is going on in countries like USA, CHINA, INDIA and RUSSIA
