SonicStar is a proposed supersonic jet airliner designed by HyperMach CEO Richard H. Lugg. Lugg said, in a 2016 Altitudes Aviation interview and at a 2014 presentation at the Global Aerospace Summit in Abu Dhabi, that he plans to have the supersonic transport airborne by June 2028. The SonicStar is expected to reach speeds of up to Mach number 3.6 (2,375 mph (3,822 km/h)) and fly at an altitude of 80,000 feet (24,380 m). Its propulsion is projected to be 30 percent more fuel efficient than the Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 Engine which flew the Concorde. Hypothetically, the SonicStar would fly 1.75 times faster than the speed of the Concorde. It is planned to be powered by two engineered 157,700 thrust SonicBlue HYSCRAM (Hypersonic Superconducting Combustion Ram Accelerated Magnetohydrodynamic Drive) hybrid hypersonic 6500-X series engines. Sonic boom is expected to be eliminated over land, through electromagnetic drag reduction technology currently under development.

Why I built this

I built this due to it never being built on simpleplanes before, it’s a very much not well known concept and known mostly due to a Roblox flight simulator called “Aeronautica”

I, myself, play that game. And that’s one of my favorite planes in the game.


Dont forget to upvote and have a safe flight!
