11分钟从伦敦飞纽约
NEW DELHI: Charles Bombardier, the man behind the concept aircraft Skreemr which could travel at Mach 10, has now unveiled the Antipode, a hypersonic jet that he claims will cover the distance between London and New York in a mind-boggling 11 minutes.
Bombardier, who is affiliated with the Canadian aircraft company Bombardier Inc, says the Antipode can reach Mach 24, twice the speed of the Skreemr and 12 times faster than the Concorde. In theory, he claims it can carry 10 people for a distance of up to 20,000km in less than an hour.
Last year, the Canadian engineer designed the Skreemr, a four-winged scramjet that he claimed could carry 75 passengers at speeds of up to Mach 10.
One Mach averages 1195km/hour, a speed equal to that of sound. An aircraft flying at Mach 2 is flying at twice the speed of sound, in the air.
Charles Bombardier是提出速度10马赫概念机Skreemr的人，他公开了一款号称仅用11分钟就能从伦敦抵达纽约的超音速飞机Antipode 。
庞巴迪公司称，Antipode的速度能达到24马赫，是Skreemr速度的两倍，是协和客机速度的12倍。理论上，他说Antipode能搭乘10人，在不到一小时内飞2万公里。
去年，加拿大工程师设计了Skreemr，号称能搭载75名乘客，速度最高达10马赫。
1马赫为1195公里每小时，也就是等同于音速。而2马赫飞机的速度就是音速的2倍。

It will take longer to reach airport and stand in the security line than to tye flight time. Airline will also save money in prociding food and drinks to customers as hardly uou can eat anything in 11 minutes
去机场和经过安检的时间比飞行时间更久
航空公司也能省下餐费和饮料费，毕竟在11分钟内几乎吃不到什么

GOOD , BUT HOW CAN EVERY PASSENGER BEAR G-FORCE THAT COULD BE MORE THAN 20 G , IN 2 MACK G-FORCE REACHED AT 9 G
乘客哪里忍受得了20G的重力加速度

Unbelievable speed but dangerous to run Flights at a speed of 25000 km/hour.
速度快得令人难以置信，不过时速2.5万公里的飞行是危险的

In Hyderabad city, reaching the air port even from the heart of the city takes not less than 1 hour.
在海德拉巴，从市中心去机场至少要1个小时

It might take time before the concept of aircraft Skreemr which could travel at Mach 10, becomes a reality ... but it will be quite dangerous for the technology to master such a high speed which likely to be too expensive too....
10马赫速度的概念机Skreemr成为现实也许需要时间
速度那么快，很危险的，而且票价会很贵

Great Speed.... Hope it becomes available for passenger air crafts and in reasonable cost..
好快的速度
希望能用作民航客机，且价格合理

It remains to be seen if this can be economically viable. As mentioned in the article, it could be used by the ultra rich and for military purposes
是否经济可行还有待观察
也许超级富翁会坐，也许能用于军事目的
