London to New York in 45 minutes? Visionary plane aims to do it

The A-HyM Hypersonic Air Master is a conceptual aircraft designed to fly at Mach 7.3, carrying 170 passengers on ultra-fast routes like London to New York in 45 minutes.
Spanish designer Oscar Viñals has envisioned a concept that leverages cutting-edge developments in durable materials, engine technology, and aerodynamic design to pursue hypersonic travel while minimizing the impact of sonic booms.
The aircraft is designed to fly at an altitude of 30,000 meters, utilizing advanced high-temperature resistant materials such as titanium and carbon fiber composites to endure heat levels reaching 1,000°C, and incorporates a Sonic Boom Mitigation System to minimize noise during supersonic travel.
Oscar Viñals explains that this innovative aircraft design could enable travelers to effectively "master" time, reducing the journey from London to Los Angeles to just 90 minutes, including the process of boarding at Heathrow and arriving at LAX.
If realized, the A-HyM could significantly cut transatlantic flight durations, marking a transformative step toward ultra-fast, sustainable global air travel beyond current Concorde and subsonic flight times.
