US to test hypersonic aircraft that could cross Atlantic in an hour – video
The X-51A Waverider is being developed by the US airforce to fly at 4,600mph - six times the speed of sound. For its test flight, it will be dropped from a B52 bomber 50,000ft above the Pacific Ocean and should reach speeds that would see it fly from London to New York in an hour
