Flying from Australia to London, England, in under three hours? Impossible you think… but air travel developments could make ‘commuting’ to Europe a reality!

Hypersonic speed air travel has previously been the fodder of science fiction novels but Australian and US defence experts have launched an aircraft that is capable of hitting speeds of up to 4840km/h - six times quicker than your average flight. The impressive speeds make the Sydney to London route possible in just 2.9hours. Of course the technology is still a long way off being ready for business travellers but the launch flight is a significant step forward to breaking down geographical barriers and opening up the whole world to your company.
