SonicBlue vision is the development of revolutionary engine design to fundamentally change the way aero gas-turbine engines operate in order to significantly improve the performance of aircraft systems.

• Hybrid engine technology developed to offer a highly efficient, supersonic, variable bypass fan ratio engine design.

• The engine operates electrically by generating a large amount of on-board electric power through its superconducting electric turbine ring generator system.

• Engine produces sufficient power to operate the multi-stage counter rotating, superconducting, dual ring motor electric bypass fans and superconducting electric ring motor axial compressor, power generation and thrust comes from 5-stage superconducting axial turbine.

• The 54,700 thrust class S-MAGJET engine (two engines) described is optimized to fly the HyperMach SonicStar aircraft at 62,000 ft, at a specific fuel consumption below 1.05 at Mach 3.3, this performance will be unprecedented and will welcome in a new era of the future of aerospace transport.

• Electrical generation is provided by superconducting ring generators that are powered by the high velocity exhaust thrust from the combustor section of the engine.

• The bypass fan is a twin fan system in which one fan counter rotates with the other fan, which reduces aerodynamic swirl and drag.

• The bypass fan configuration is not constrained by a drive shaft, heavy gears and complex gear boxes, nor complex lubrication systems and it can be run at an optimal rotational speed so as to maximize its efficiency at any aircraft velocity, or altitude

• The bypass fans running independently from the compressor can be run at much slower speeds than the compressor, this means a more efficient RPM for the fan blade design of the S-MAGJET, a low bypass fan supersonic engine design.

• Lower operating RPM speeds afford the use of wider blades, raising aerodynamic efficiency and thrust per horsepower, making the engine architecture greatly more efficient than the current art of engine designs.

• Light weight superconducting ring motors with integrated cooling for the compressor do not require a drive shaft, nor the bypass fans or the superconducting ring generators of the power turbine, a “hollow-core shaftles” tunnel is left in the center of the hybrid electric turbine which now carries additional bypass air.

• Bypass air as the major component of thrust, rather than the hot exhaust from the power turbine being utilized as thrust is a more efficient method of producing thrust for propulsion in turbines.

• Supersonic-Magnetic Advanced Generation Jet Electric Turbine (S-MAGJET), the majority of electric power produced off the power turbine via the superconducting ring generators is directed forward through a proprietary electric power management system to run the electric bypass fans and the electric compressor.
  This electrical independence of the bypass fan from the multi-stage axial compressor raises overall efficiency of the engine by 70% alone.

A 2011 patent application appears to indicate the engine uses an ionizing plasma combustor (via fuel ionization) to have a charged exhaust. The intention is to electrically charge the power turbine blades to achieve laminar flow over the blades (as a drag reduction measure) though it seems to use a high voltage discharge after the power turbine to reseed the exhaust, as it appears to use a MHD accelerator in the nozzle as a kind of electric afterburner.

Every now and then something happens that changes the way we experience the world forever…

From seeing man land on the moon to hearing the Beatles for the first time, human history is peppered with ‘where were you?’ moments.

With an eye to the future but feet firmly rooted in solid scientific research, HyperMach is driven by a mission to change air transportation forever.

The dream? Just imagine: Jetting out of London at 9am and arriving in LA in time for breakfast. Or being able to fly from New York to Dubai in the time it takes to watch an in-flight movie.

The development of SonicStar makes what was previously impossible a reality. Incorporating a next generation design to effectively overcome environmental and economic challenges, SonicStar combines supersonic high speed with low boom technology to revolutionise aviation and drive global economic change.

Own your own limited edition never sold before model of the Sonicstar V1. The real aircraft will be 225.67 feet in length, 74.14 feet in wingspan the model is 46cm long x 18cm high mounted on a wooden base. In original and undisturbed packaging.

Only 50 models have ever or will ever be made of version 1 as this is an evolving project. I have 25 models available - either to buy as individual items or as a package.
