Hypersonic plane could get you from New York to London in 2 hours

You could soon be able to make it to London in just 2 hours!

Boeing wants to make a passenger plane that can shuttle customers around the globe at five times the speed of sound.


The aircraft manufacturer says the jet could get anywhere in the world in 1 to 3 hours.

With top speeds exceeding 3,800 miles per hour, the trek from New York to London, for example, could take 2 hours. 

Currently, the trip takes about 7 hours.

Boeing says the concept is still in the early stages of development, and it could take 20 to 30 years before it becomes a reality.
