NASA's fastest aircraft all set to fly London-New York in just four hours

An impressive aircraft that can whizz from London to New York in just four hours is almost ready to take-off. NASA's X-59 is a supersonic research aircraft that is expected to reach speeds of up to 990mph - which is faster than the speed of sound. Such a quick rate means the vehicle could technically fly from the capital of the UK to New York in around three hours and 44 minutes.
