HSRP
Definition
- The passenger jet of the future is taking shape. NASA and its industry partners have developed a concept for a next-generation supersonic passenger jet that would fly 300 passengers at more than 1,500 miles per hour (more than twice the speed of sound). As envisioned, the High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) would cross the Pacific or Atlantic in less than half the time of modern subsonic jets, and at a ticket price less than 20 percent above comparable, slower flights. Technology to make the HSCT possible is being developed as part of NASA's High-Speed Research (HSR) program. The HSR program, begun in 1990, is supported by a team of U.S. aerospace companies. The international economic stakes are high. The projected market for more than 500 HSCTs between the years 2000 and 2015 translates to more than 赨 billion in sales, and the potential of 140,000 new jobs in the United States. *** NOTE: The NASA High-Speed Research (HSR) Program was phased out in fiscal year 1999 *** (en)
