Venus Aerospace, a Houston-based startup, has achieved a momentous feat in the aviation industry with its groundbreaking project, the ‘Stargazer‘. This hypersonic aircraft can soar at an incredible Mach 9, which is an astounding nine times the speed of sound.
Connecting the World with Unmatched Speed
The ‘Stargazer’, measuring 150 feet in length and 100 feet in width, aims to bridge cities worldwide by flying at an impressive speed of 6,905 mph, soaring at an altitude of 170,000 ft. With a capacity of carrying up to 12 people, its design’s focal point is a rotating-detonation engine that spins at a breathtaking rate of 20,000 rotations/second, enabling continuous supersonic combustion and sustaining high-speed flight.
The innovative ‘Stargazer’ has surpassed the capabilities of its predecessors, such as the Concorde and Lockheed SR-71 ‘Blackbird‘, pushing the limits of supersonic jets. Its unparalleled speed and efficiency have the potential to revolutionize long-distance travel.
With its remarkable ability to achieve Mach 9, the hypersonic aircraft ‘Stargazer’ has the potential to redefine the future of aviation, propelling high-speed transportation to new heights.
