NASA is moving closer to the possibility of achieving supersonic passenger flights, reducing travel time between New York and London to just 90 minutes, reports Caribbean News Digital.
Since the end of Concorde in 2003, fast transatlantic flights have become a thing of the past. However, NASA's recent study suggests that commercial flights travelling over 3,000 miles per hour could become a reality.
