Hypersonic airliner promises zippy, spacecraft-like flight

"Aerospace giant EADS this week said it is looking to develop and ambitious commercial transport aircraft that can fly at speeds of about Mach 4 while having a limited impact on the environment.

The aircraft, called ZEHST (Zero Emission High Supersonic Transport), would be targeted at long-haul routes - like Tokyo-Paris or Tokyo-Los Angeles where it could make the flight in less than 2 hrs 30 min, EADS said."
