Are there any ferries that can hit 200 km/h? Because that's what it would take to get reasonably far from the city.

Or some shiny airtaxi vtol running on renewables, electricity, handwavium?
- orbital-decay 4y agoOr just a hybrid HTHL vehicle, think SpaceShipTwo with an additional airbreathing engine and some thermal protection instead of a fancy feathered system (not feasible at high velocities). Take off on a quiet engine, get away from cities, make a rocket-powered suborbital jump, vomit in between, re-enter, land quietly across the pond. (still sounds handwavy and not very realistic, though)
