If there's one big disadvantage that comes with travelling to New York City from London, it's that it will usually take seven long hours to complete the flight.
That's quite a long journey but with a supersonic jet, it could all change — traveling from London to New York will only take three hours.
The S-512 Supersonic Jet, developed by engineering firm Spike Aerospace in 2013, will transport passengers with a maximum speed of 1,370 mph.
The ultra-speed jet can accommodate 18 passengers in one go and features a what they call "Multiplex Digital" cabin, according to Discovery News.
This cabin will be windowless, but offers high-definition, wide-screen display that can play content such as movies, business presentations, and even a live view of the outside world.
The jet also provides high-speed wireless Internet connection, perfect for those who feel the need to watch their favorite show on Netflix, Metro UK reported.
The ultra-fast flight owes it to the "delta" wings design, according to Spike Aerospace senior engineer, Anutosh Moitra.
According to Moitra's statement, the delta wings offer "high aerodynamic efficiency" and improves the performance of the flight, either in low-speed or supersonic journey.
"Flying supersonic is clearly the future of aviation," said Spike's CEO & president Vik Kachoria.
According to Kachoria, the supersonic jet provides a mode of transportation that makes the big world a more accessible place.
Kachoria also added that reducing the flight time in half is very important in any competitive global industry, but he believes the jet will become a necessity for busy people who want to spend time with their families and loved ones.
The jet may help cut flight time, but then there's that matter on the price.
The jet is up for private sale and costs between $60 million and $80 million, as reported in Science Alert.
That's quite a price tag, which only means that many people can't afford it and will only have to rely on standard flights.
