Venus Aerospace's Stargazer will need to carry passengers into space before returning to Earth. The vehicle can reach a top speed of 11,115 km/h, equivalent to Mach 9. The machine's power comes from a rocket engine that detonates at 20,000 revolutions per second, but the plane will take off using a conventional jet engine, the Sun reported on May 2.

The Stargazer is a project jointly developed by Venus Aerospace and NASA's leading spaceflight facility. The team is studying data from the US space shuttle program. The Stargazer can take off from a regular airport.

Unlike other passengers, however, those flying on the Stargazer will reach an altitude of 51,816 m. The aircraft is expected to be 30.5 m wide and 45.7 m long, with a takeoff weight of more than 68,000 kg. The vehicle will only have a capacity of 12 passengers, but the ticket price is expected to be relatively affordable.

“This is no longer science fiction, it is science fact,” said Dr. Andrew Duggleby, co-founder of Venus Aerospace. “We are working with NASA at the Johnson Space Center and have access to information from the space shuttle program’s sonic boom testing. We have determined that at 160,000 feet and Mach 9, you cannot hear the aircraft.”
