The astonishing £15.6trn mega-project that would link the UK with US in just 54 minutes | World | News
It took about 3.5 hours to whisk the passengers from London to New York at the summit of his fame from London to Concorde. Since the supersonic aircraft accelerated throughout the Atlantic, MACH 2.02 – was able to travel at about 1,345 miles per hour – cruising speed.
Concorde was not cheap, in 1996, a departure of US $ 7,574 – a popular way of transportation with celebrities, royal and high -profile business managers with a travel ticket – helping to develop its image as a symbol of prestige and luxury. However, if the green light is finally given to an ultra -ambitious infrastructure project, it may be possible to travel throughout the Atlantic soon from one hour.
The transatlantic tunnel, which combines England with America, was a dream that existed for more than a century.
The tunnel would reach 3,400 miles under the Atlantic ocean, thousands of meters deep.
The price tag is estimated to be an amazing 15 trillion £ – this is postponing investors so far.
However, the developments in vacuum tube technology has made the concept more appropriate.
By creating a vacuum within the tunnel and using pressure vehicles, traveling travels throughout the building can theoretically reach more than 3,000 miles / h.
The trains would not encounter any air resistance, allowing them to easily reach supersonic speeds that had never been seen before.
Supersonic speed will allow travelers to reach Big Elma in a shorter time than an hour, making Concorde look slow with comparison.
Although various ideas are put forward for construction, the dream is currently going on.
Among these, the construction of a tunnel under the Atlantic accumulates on stylts.
A design suggested that the tunnel, which was held in place with cables connected to the ocean base, to swim.
If the plan sees the daylight, it may take some time to build. The channel tunnel, which connects France to England, was built for a period of six years.
If the transatlantic tunnel had been built at the same speed, the passing of 3,000 gaps between the US and the UK will take 782 years Newsweek.
