Spike S-512 (Spike Aerospace) supersonic passenger aircraft
For several years now, the aviation world has been waiting for the debut flight of the Spike S-512, a supersonic passenger plane that can reach London from New York in just 90 minutes, with the ability to reach a maximum speed of 1,913 km / h (about 1.8 Mach). As this happens, simulations have recently been unveiled that reveal what the happy passengers can expect to board these
flights.The photos released by the company for publication show a central and well-designed seating area that can be easily converted into a bedroom with flat beds and dining areas as well as business meetings.

New drivers - what is important to know before getting on the road?
Plane noise - less than a conversation between people
The aircraft, which will hold no more than 18 passenger seats, will have no windows, due to its improved aerodynamic structure.
In addition, the presence of windows means the addition of engine noise penetrating the cabin.
The result: a faster, more economical and quieter aircraft.
"The Concorde (a fast supersonic plane that was in use at the end of the 20th century) was ridiculously noisy," says Vic Catchoria, founder and CEO of Spike Aerospace. "On most passenger planes, the noise level outside is 85 decibels. .
Most conversations between people, are at the level of 75-65 decibels.
In our plane, the noise level will be only 60 decibels - lower than that of human dialogue. "

"Even a flat screen once cost tens of thousands of dollars"
Instead of windows, huge flat screens will be embedded in the cabin, resembling panoramic views of your choice.
Another publication, reported several years ago, also stated that it would be possible to choose whether to view virtual landscapes or what was happening outside the plane in real time, using cameras that would be placed on the fuselage.
The plane will be equipped with an equipped kitchen, which has a fine coffee machine, a built-in sink, a work desk and a large refrigerator.
The Sun reports that the price of flights has not yet been determined, but they will certainly not be cheap.
However, the expectation is that in the more distant future, prices will be similar to those in a standard business class.
"Remember, almost every technological innovation was initially intended for the very rich: cars, phones, computers and more. Flat screen TVs cost about $ 25,000 in the 1990s. Today they are available for $ 200," adds Kachuria.
As will be recalled, supersonic passenger flight was the desire of many, and in 1976 the Concorde aircraft were launched, with which it was possible to get from London to New York in three and a half hours.
However, Concorde aircraft were taken out of service in 2003, following a fatal accident in Paris in 2000.
