I-Arhente yeNdawo yase-UK ibhengeze izicwangciso zayo ngenqwelomoya yendawo enokuthwala abakhweli ukusuka eNew York ukuya eLondon kwiyure nje enye. Kwaye inokuba sesibhakabhakeni ngoo-2030s.
Kwinkomfa ye-UK Space e-Wales ngoLwesibini, u-CEO we-UK Space Agency, u-Graham Turnock, uthethe ngenqwelomoya ekwazi ukubhabha eMak 5.4. Esi santya siza kuvumela abakhweli ukuba basuke e-UK baye e-Australia ngeyure nje ezine. (Indlela ethe ngqo isenziwa kwaye iya kuthatha iiyure ezingama-20.)

Inqwelomoya yayiza kuxhotyiswa yi-injini yehypersonic. Ukongeza kwisantya ebesingafakwanga ngaphambili, le njini iza kunikwa amandla ngokudityaniswa kwe-hydrogen kunye neoksijini, iyenze ibe nobubele ngakumbi kwindalo kwaye ibe nexabiso eliphantsi kuneenjini zangoku, ngoku ka Izinto .
Iqela sele livavanya i-injini emhlabeni kwaye linethemba lokuba nenqwelomoya kwindawo yovavanyo lweenqwelomoya phakathi ko-2020. Ukuba iprojekthi ihlala isendleleni, iinqwelomoya zingaqala kwii-2030s.
Abantu khange babenayo inqwelomoya ehamba ngenqwelomoya okoko i-Concorde yagqiba inqwelomoya yokugqibela ngo-2003. Kuthathe ixesha elingaphantsi kweeyure ezintathu kwinkonzo yesiqhelo phakathi kweNew York neLondon ababekhwele kwiConcorde.
Kodwa le nqwelo moya intsha yayiza kuyithathela phezulu. Iya kuba yinqwelomoya eyenze ihypersonic, ekwazi ukuhamba ngesantya esiphindwe kahlanu kwisandi. Ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kuba nzima ukuyenza kuba i-injini iya kubamba kakhulu. Esi santya siqhele ukufezekiswa ziijethi zokulwa, kodwa zineenkqubo zokupholisa ezintsonkothileyo, ezingaphaya kwenqwelomoya.

Injini yeRocket yokuphefumla umoya weSynergetic (iSaber, njengoko le modeli ibizwa njalo) iya kwenza uhambo lokuhamba ngomzimba lube lukhetho kumkhweli wentengiso. Inokutshintsha kwimowudi yerokethi kunye nokuhamba eMach 25, ukumilisela abakhweli emajukujukwini.
I-UK ayisiyiyo kuphela iarhente esebenza kwimodeli yenqwelomoya entsha ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. I-Boeing ikwasebenza kwi-jet hypersonic eya kuqala kwi-2030s. Iijethi ezinkulu ze-NASA zinokuthatha abakhweli ukusuka eNew York ukuya eLos Angeles ngeeyure nje ezintathu, kwangoko ngo-2021.
