Russian scientists have begun development of the space plane.

A new project of scientists from the Aviation Science Center. Zhukovsky, will not only allow the development of a super-high-speed passenger airliner, but in essence a device for flying at suborbital altitudes. Currently, scientists have only been able to produce computer simulations, and the development of the project itself is expected to take about 7-10 years.

The first information appeared on this evidence indicates that the spacecraft can develop speed in 4 km / s, while taking on board to 21 tons of cargo. Among other things, according to experts, the aircraft will be equipped with environmental fuels, which will make it safe for the atmosphere of the planet.
