Virgin Galactic just released renderings of its high-speed aircraft that could be capable of hitting three times the speed of sound, or 2301.81 miles per hour.

Having completed its Mission Concept Review receiving approval from the FAA’s Center for Emerging Concepts and Innovation, Richard Branson’s space flight company can now proceed to the next step towards making the concept aircraft a reality. The partnership with Rolls-Royce, who built engines for the iconic Concorde, should help Virgin Galactic make the superfast plane a reality.
