When he is ready, he will be able to fly at a speed of up to 29 thousand kilometers per hour.
Aircraft cosmoplan / UNIAN collage, screenshots from The Sun videoRadian Aerospace has introduced its vision of the future: the development of a aircraft cosmoplan, capable of accelerating up to 29,000 km/h.
This apparatus, named Radian One, designed for low -earth orbit flights – a new generation cosmoplan, which will be the first in the world to be a completely multiple spacecraft capable of entering orbit in one stage. However, unlike traditional rockets, it will fly from the usual runway – and will land, too, instead of drive in the ocean, writes The Sun.
Radian One is designed for a crew of five people, so it will not be able to replace the Boeing 747. But the company believes that this device can revolutionize air transport in cases where speed is important.
Radian promises that Radian One will be able to deliver any cargo weighing up to 2 267 kg anywhere in less than an hour. On the way back, the load capacity is doubled – for example, when the equipment is returned from the space station.
Radian hopes that in the future, his cosmoplan will be able to carry both people and equipment to private and state orbital stations.
How should it workRadian One is made from a rocket accelerator on rails about 3.2 km long. This accelerator, installed on the runway, accelerates the cosmoplan to 865 km/h.
After that, Radian One picks up to 29,000 km/h, going into orbit. The rise itself will resemble the take -off of a regular passenger plane. The company also promises “smooth entrance to the atmosphere”, and planting is possible on any compatible strip of at least 3 km long.
The Radian claims that he will be able to prepare the cosmoplan for the flight in just 90 minutes, and the time between the launch will be 48 hours. Each Radian One cosmoplan will be able to take up to 100 flights – and possibly more.
“Passengers will be able to climb and stay in orbit. We will fly the planet in about 95 minutes, so the standard flight will probably contain three circles around the earth,” says Radian Aerospace head Richard Gamfrey.
However, there is no exact date when Radian One will be available for commercial space flights.
Other news from spaceEarlier, UNIAN reported that astronomers found four planets near the star closest to Earth. A study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters showed that each of them is only 20-30 % of the Earth’s mass.
In addition, the mysterious signal from space has been concerned about scientists. After a long study of that part of the cosmos telescopes, scientists seem to have found an explanation of this mystery. Explosions of radio emission at a stable two -hour interval come from the constellation of the Big Dipper.
