Travellers who lament the passing of Concorde – the aircraft was grounded for good in October 2003 and British Airways has given no indication it will take to the skies again – may yet have an opportunity to experience a transatlantic supersonic flight.

The Boston-based engineering firm Spike Aerospace has unveiled plans to develop Spike S-512, a 12-18 seater supersonic private jet designed for commercial use and supposedly capable of flying from New York to London in under four hours – that's about half the time taken by current commercial flights. Those aircraft typically fly at Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h); sound travels at a speed of about 1234 km/h at sea level, and Spike S-512 is predicted to reach speeds of Mach 1.6-1.8 (1700-1900 km/h).

There are impediments to be overcome – not least a ruling from America's Federal Aviation Administration that prohibits supersonic flight over land in its jurisdiction and the estimated cost of up to $US80 million ($A91 million) per private jet – but the developers have spent years honing their design and believe the aircraft could take off by late 2018.
