First Class Flight on Zehst
The Zehst is a high tech concept plane that follows in the footsteps of the supersonic Concorde jet liner. The plane would offer first class flights from Paris to New York in 90 minutes and be powered by seaweed.
The EADS revealed plans for the Zhest but the bad news is that it won't be completed until 2050. EADS Innovations together with their subsidiary Astrium and the French aerospace research lab ONERA will work jointly to develop the aircraft. The supersonic plane will achieve the short flight times by skimming the edge of the atmosphere at speeds up to Mach4. It is also an attempt to prove that bio-fuels and electricity can replace fossil fuels in the future of aviation. The plane design features two turbojet engines running on biofeul, and it's engineered to utilize a regular runway.
