To date, only a hypersonic airliner is designed, however, as noted by the representatives of the British company «Reactions Engines Limited», his first test aircraft is likely to be able to pass 2024-2025 year.

As a basis for the development of hypersonic civilian aircraft Reaction Engines Limited A2, British experts took the project has become very popular airliner Concorde, designed in 70-ies of the last century, but, in fact, was taken only the main structural framework, and in fact, in his the design and technical point of view, both aircraft are very different.

According to preliminary data, the cabin airliner Reaction Engines Limited A2 can accommodate up to three hundred people, and, it is possible that future versions of the aircraft can be extended to a larger number of passengers, however, experts point to the fact that more than 340 people plane take on board will not be able.

It is known from preliminary flight characteristics that Reaction Engines Limited A2 will have a colossal length, significantly exceeding the length of the largest aircraft in use today - the estimated size of the aircraft will be about 143 meters, while the wingspan will be about 41 meters. In 2015, an official proposal was made to reduce the length of the aircraft to 115 meters by creating a second deck, however, a final decision on this issue is still being worked out.

The power plant of the aircraft Reaction Engines Limited A2 should be according to the author of the project of the aircraft consist of four turbojet engines, the power of which at the moment is not specified, in this case, the aircraft will be able to accelerate up to speed in 6400 km \ h., And non-stop to overcome distance to 20 thousand kilometers.

One of the biggest drawbacks of this aircraft is the noise generated when flying at supersonic speeds, which is not suitable for using aircraft at airports located in the city, or at a distance of less than 15 kilometers from the city, and also a huge amount of required fuel, which in its The queue requires the recycling of the project for its quicker payback. In addition, for take-off and landing the aircraft requires a long DGG distance of at least 3 thousand meters, which in turn makes it currently impossible to operate the aircraft of this model.
