Scramjet success

A rocket which scientists believe may hold the key to hypersonic commercial aviation was launched at almost eight times the speed of sound in the Australian outback. Accelerating up to Mach 7.6 or 7.6 times speed of sound, the scramjet-powered terrier-Orion Mk-70 rocket pushed 300 kilometers into the sky.

The scramjet raises the possibility of Sydney to London flights in just two hours instead of the current average of 22 hours
