http://uk.businessinsider.com/airbu...ce=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer?r=US&IR=TLast month, the US Patent and Trademark Office approved an application from Airbus' Marco Prampolini and Yohann Coraboeuf for an "ultra-rapid air vehicle and related method of aerial locomotion."
In other words, Airbus just patented a hypersonic jet.
Airbus expects the jet to reach speeds as high as Mach 4.5 — or 4 1/2 times the speed of sound.
According to PatentYogi's Deepak Gupta, this means the Airbus jet could make the trip from London to New York in just one hour. That's a significant improvement over the 3 1/2 hours it took for the now retired Mach 2 Concorde to make the same trip.
