“新东方快车” 美国将着手研制超超音速飞机——“新东方快车”。随后,英国宣布将实施同样的计划。这有可能使今后20年成为自莱特兄弟发明飞机以来航空界变化最大的20年。新东方快车发动机将以氢为燃料;起降将利用现有的跑道;其巡航速度为马赫12至马赫20,飞行高度为3万米至10万米(波音747为1万米、DC-9为7500米)等。新东方快车最为引人注目之处,自然是它那令人难以想象的速 “New Oriental Express ” The United States will embark on the development of super-supersonic aircraft - “New Oriental Express ”. Subsequently, Britain announced that it will implement the same plan. This could make the next 20 years the most dramatic 20 years since the Wright brothers invented the aircraft. New Oriental Express engine will be hydrogen-fueled; taking off and landing will use the existing runway; the cruise speed Mach Mach 12 to 20, the flight altitude of 30,000 meters to 100,000 meters (Boeing 747 is 10,000 meters, DC-9 is 7500 meters) and so on. The most striking aspect of the New Oriental Express is, naturally, its incredible speed
