At
a press conference at Paris air Show 2011, Richard Lugg
the Chairman of Hypermach launched a revolutionary new
Supersonic Business Jet called SonicStar.
Hypermach’s new supersonic aircraft SonicStar incorporates
revolutionary aerodynamics and propulsion technology to
overcome the environmental and economic challenges that
have stopped the development of supersonic aircraft in
the past. SonicStar will achieve the speed of Mach 3.5,
while meeting requirements for high thrust to weight ratio
engine designs, reduced emissions and the dramatic reduction
of sonic boom overland.
You’ll be able to fly supersonic from New York to
Sydney in 5 hours with no sonic boom overland –
changing the way in which the world does business…..
forever.
Richard Lugg commented today ‘I’ve made it
my life’s work to make this dream a reality. Now,
in 2011, we have access to revolutionary engine technology,
and a unique, very high speed aircraft design to make
this kind of earth-shatteringly fast air travel possible.
And we have a date: our plan is to build and fly the world’s
first very high speed supersonic hybrid aircraft by June,
2021’

The
propulsion system for SonicStar is a new Hybrid engine,
S-MAGJET 4000X designed by Hypermach’s engine partner
SonicBlue. It is over 30% more fuel efficient then the Rolls
Royce 593 Engine in Concorde. This is record breaking technology
for a supersonic engine design.
The 54,700 thrust class S-MAGJET engine is optimized to
fly the HyperMach SonicStar aircraft at 62,000 ft, at a
specific fuel consumption below 1.05 at Mach 3.5, this performance
will be unprecedented and will welcome in a new era of the
future of aerospace transport.
Hypermach are excited to announce that this amazing engine
technology will be developed and built in the UK and are
currently in discussions with potential engine partners
for the manufacture of the engine.
The UK Department of Trade and Industry have agreed to support
the company in the UK, as we establish and grow the strategic
Global Headquarters for the commercial engine development
and manufacture of S-MAGJET 4000X. The UK’s Global
Entrepreneur Programme is key to attracting some of the
world’s most significant.
