SonicStar is a supersonic passenger airliner project envisaged by HyperMach CEO Richard Lugg.Lugg said at the 2011 Paris Air Show he plans to get the plane airborne by June 2021. It would reach speeds of up to Mach 3.6 (2740 miles per hour (4410 km/h)) and fly at an altitude of 60000 feet (18300 m). The propulsion is projected to be 30% more fuel efficient than the Rolls Royce Olympus 593 Engine in the Concorde. The SonicStar would hypothetically fly at twice the speed of the Concorde.
