"Revolutionary Mach 9 Passenger Aircraft Takes Flight Around the Globe"

Venus Aerospace, a company co-founded by Andrew and Sassie Duggleby, is working on building a hypersonic aircraft that can travel at Mach 9, or more than 11,000 kilometers an hour. The aircraft will take off and perform a 10-minute boost with its rocket engine, sending it to an altitude of approximately 50 km. The company is using a new type of engine based on "rotating detonation" to increase fuel efficiency and has recently achieved liquid peroxide and Jet A detonation. The company has also begun testing drones to refine the shape of its plane.
