Development of a near-space hydrogen-powered aircraft designed to achieve hypersonic speeds and enable global travel in 1–2 hours. The aircraft will use hydrogen airbreathing jet engines for conventional flight and cryogenic hydrogen rocket engines for hypersonic acceleration.

A near-space aircraft designed to fly anywhere on Earth in 1–2 hours using hydrogen propulsion. The aircraft combines hydrogen airbreathing jet engines for conventional flight with cryogenic hydrogen rocket engines for hypersonic acceleration.
