Hydrogen-Powered Hypersonic Airplanes

The SKY Magnetar Travels at Five-Times the Speed of Sound

— May 17, 2023 — Autos
The SKY Magnetar hypersonic airplane has been conceptualized by Oscar Viñals as a futuristic transportation solution that would transform the capabilities of pilots and travelers alike. The airplane measures in at 112-meters in length and features four wings, which combine to give it inherent aerodynamics that can support speeds unlike what has been possible in the past. The airplane features two cycle engines powered by hydrogen that would enable it to travel at Mach 5 speed (6,174kph).

The SKY Magnetar hypersonic airplane maintains a blade-less engine configuration that feeds the airflow into the turbofan engines via the outside of the main engine body. The plane would accommodate between 100 to 120 passengers in a windowless cabin that would be pressured due to the cruising altitude.
Trend Themes
1. Hypersonic Airplanes - Developing hypersonic airplanes could revolutionize air transportation and enable travel at unprecedented speeds.
2. Hydrogen-powered Transportation - Using hydrogen as a fuel source for transportation could be a game-changing disruptive innovation in the industry.
3. Bladeless Engine Design - Designing bladeless engines for airplanes could not only reduce noise pollution, but also increase fuel efficiency and enable higher speeds.
Industry Implications
1. Aviation Industry - The aviation industry would greatly benefit from the development of hypersonic airplanes as a means of faster and more efficient air travel.
2. Renewable Energy Industry - The development of hydrogen-powered transportation would provide a boost to the renewable energy industry and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
3. Aerospace Engineering Industry - Designing and developing bladeless engines for airplanes would create opportunities for innovation and disruptive design in the field of aerospace engineering.
