Have any of you heard about it? Even though it's still in it's testing stage right now, the full version of the plane could be capable of speeds up to Mach 20 (13,000 mph) that means it can go from New York to Los Angeles in 12 minutes, or strike anywhere in the world in about 60 minutes.

I looks weird, but the speed it can reach is unbelievable. |

This was on the news last night. I would love if it only took minutes rather than hours to fly. |

At least than 12 hour flights would only be about 30-40 minutes? |

Yeah. Forget around the world in 80 days, our new challenge is going around the world in 80 minutes! |
