In the 20 years since The Concorde has flown, there really hasn’t been a new supersonic travel service for passengers. But Astro Mechanica is here to change that, while revolutionizing flight as we know it. It’s the closest thing to time travel we may ever get in our lifetimes.

This new kind of jet engine could unlock affordable supersonic flight for everyone, allowing a trip to anywhere on the globe in a fraction of the time it takes now. Astro Mechanica’s Generation 3 turboelectric adaptive jet engine is paving the way for cheaper, faster flights, and doing it with carbon neutral fuel.

The Hard Reset team got to witness one of the company’s first hotfire tests of the Gen 3 engine in their San Francisco headquarters, and see if this tech is truly set to unlock a whole new future of air travel.
