Tests in Oz may lead to super-high speed flight

This just in from Canada.com

An experimental jet engine has been successfully tested at speeds of up to 11,000 km/h, or 10 times the speed of sound, during trials in Australia’s outback, defence scientists said on Friday. The experimental scramjet engine is an air-breathing supersonic combustion engine being developed by Australian and U.S. defence scientists that researchers hope will lead to super-high speed flight.

At 10 times the speed of sound, I believe this is definitely going to revolutionize the way people are going to travel. And the big surprise here is that this technology is being developed in Oz, instead of say in Japan or Europe.
