Chachiwiri, ndalama zamagalimoto zamtunda wautali zimakhala zosauka kwambiri, chifukwa chake ambiri samatha nthawi yaitali - vuto lodziwika bwino laposachedwapa linali Singapore Airlines 'yopita ku Singapore-Newark njira (ngakhale ndegeyo yanena kuti ikufuna kubwezeretsa njirayo mfundo).
Ngakhale zili choncho, malingaliro angapo a zamagalimoto ndi amalonda akukhulupirira osati kuti kokha London-Sydney yosakhazikika ikhoza kukhala njira yopindulitsa - amakhulupirira kuti ikhoza kuyendetsedwa mu maola anayi, kapena osachepera!

Monga, titi, omwe amapanga ndege ya Concorde supersonic jet anachita kanthawi, pamene anapanga ndege yomwe ingathe kuwuluka pamtunda wa mailosi 1,200 pa ora, mofulumira mobwerezabwereza ndege zamalonda zamakono.
Malinga ndi zolembedwa izi, makampani monga Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin komanso NASA ali okakamizidwa kuti ayese kumanga "Mwana wa Concorde", ndiye kuti mwana uyu yekha ndi wamphamvu kwambiri kuposa bambo ake, pa ola - kapena mwinamwake mofulumira.
Vuto la Supersonic
Vuto la Concorde, ndithudi, sizinali zofunikira kwambiri kuti mapepala amtengo wapatali aziyenera kulipira kapena okha (koma apamwamba kwambiri) Crash Concorde yomwe inachitika mu 2000 ku eyapoti ya Paris ya Charles de Gaulle. M'malo mwake, cholepheretsa chachikulu kuti apulumuke kuthawa ndi ... chabwino, chosemphana ndi mawu, ndi "sonic boom" ndege imawombera pamene imaphwanya.
Pa maulendo omwe amayenda pamwamba pa madzi (monga New York ku London ndi Paris, omwe anali mkate wa Concorde ndi batala), izi sizinali choncho. Koma kuchokera ku London kupita ku Sydney (ndipo, motsimikiza kuti, maulendo ambirimbiri omwe amatha ulendo wautali padziko lonse) amafuna kuti anthu azitha kuyenda pamtunda, maphwando omwe ali pamwambawa akungoyendayenda pofuna kupeza njira yochepetsera kapena kuchotsa zotsatira za sonic booms pa chitukuko cha padziko lapansi.

Branson akuyang'ana ndege ya London-Sydney (ndi njira zina zapamwamba) osagwiritsa ntchito ndege zogwiritsira ntchito, koma m'malo mogwiritsa ntchito "ndege" ya Virgin Galactic yomwe imapita kumalo, m'malo mozungulira mlengalenga. Kuchita zimenezi sikungangowonjezera ndegeyo kuti ikhale yofanana ndi miyendo ya roketi monga momwe ikugwiritsira ntchito mphamvu yokoka kwambiri (Branson amayang'ana ku London-Sydney kutenga maola atatu kapena osacheperapo), koma sangakhalenso ndi zovuta pa chilengedwe kusiyana ndi masiku ano akuuluka.
Koma pakadali pano, anthu oyenda pakati pa London ndi Sydney adzafunika "kuthamanga" monga kangaroo, ataima ku Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai kapena Abu Dhabi, kutchula maulendo angapo.
