Is it possible to have a liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen airplane? Essentially a rocket on wings. The fuel (hydrogen and oxygen) can be produced electrically

Essentially a rocket on wings. The fuel (hydrogen and oxygen) can be produced electrically from renewable sources.

- trhway 6y agoyou don't need wings. For high-speed long distance the most efficient trajectory is ballistic - thus passenger variant Starship carrying 100-500 passengers at $2-5M/launch (thus $5-20K/ticket) will, i think, be the next transcontinental mode of transportation (less than 1 hour SF-Melbourne).
