Long-haul flights across the Pacific Ocean typically span over ten hours, rendering them an arduous ordeal for travelers. However, Japan's latest advancement in hypersonic engine technology could revolutionize this scenario, potentially slashing the travel time from Tokyo to Los Angeles to a mere two hours in the foreseeable future. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), in conjunction with several prestigious universities, has triumphantly concluded ground combustion tests for a cutting-edge ramjet engine. This engine is meticulously engineered for 5-Mach supersonic aircraft, facilitating flight velocities up to five times the speed of sound, surpassing 6,000 km/h.
