1) Very light jets (microjets) 1 ） 非常輕的飛機 （ microjets ）
Very light jets (VLJs), small jets that use regional airports and carry only about 10 people — have already begun to compete with commercial airliners.非常輕的飛機（ vljs ） ，小飛機使用機場和區域進行大約只有10人-已經開始競爭與商業客機。 Two companies,這兩家公司， Dayjet dayjet and和 Linear Air線性空氣 , have recently started service in the United States and Canada. ，最近已開始服務於美國和加拿大。 Very light jets, having a much lower overhead than major airliners, could非常輕的飛機，有一個低得多的開銷比重大的客機，可 decentralize air travel分散的航空旅行 and make it even more widely available.並使其更廣泛使用。 Bypassing crowded airports, microjets could cut 1-3 hours off a typical plane trip.繞過擁擠的機場， microjets可以降低1-3小時起飛一個典型的飛機行程。
2) Quiet Supersonic Transport (QSST) 2 ） 安靜超音速運輸 （ qsst ）
The Quiet Supersonic Transport (安靜超音速運輸（ QSST qsst ) is a supersonic version of the very light jet, with a speed between Mach 1.6 and 1.8 (1,056 to 1,188 mph). ）是一種超音速的版本非常輕型噴氣式飛機，與速度之間的馬赫1.6和1.8 （ 1056年至1188年英里） 。 The QSST uses a aerodynamically contoured fuselage to create multiple quiet sonic booms rather than a single loud boom, giving it a sonic wake about a hundred times milder the Concorde’s.該qsst使用aerodynamically等高機身創建多個安靜的聲震，而不是單一的響亮繁榮，使它聲波後，約1 100倍，較溫和的協和的。 Instead of taking six hours to make it from Los Angeles to New York, a cross-country flight in the QSST would only require a而不是採取6小時，使其從洛杉磯到紐約，跨國家的飛行，在qsst將只需要 couple hours夫婦小時 . 。 The QSST has been under development by Lockheed Martin’s famous Skunk Works division under a six-year, $25 million contract.該qsst已經開發了由洛克希德馬丁公司著名的臭鼬工程司下一個為期6年， 2500萬美元的合同。 If all goes well, the QSST will reach the market in 2014.如果一切順利， qsst將達到市場在2014年。
3) Hypersonic airliners 3 ） 高超音速飛機
The那個 Reaction Engines A2反應引擎酶A2 hypersonic airliner, the design of which was only高超音速客機，設計，其中只有 announced宣布 a couple months ago, is truly impressive.一對夫婦個月前，是真正令人印象深刻。 This aircraft would travel at over Mach 5 (4,000 mph), enough to make it from Europe to Australia in under five hours.這架飛機將旅行超過5馬赫（ 4000英里） ，足以令它從歐洲到澳大利亞下，在5個小時。 The plane would use novel air routes, including a path over the North Pole.這架飛機將使用新型的航線，包括道路，超過北極。 With a length of 143 m (469 ft), the A2 would be twice as long as most commercial planes, and able to hold 300 passengers.與長度一四三米（ 469英尺） ，在A2 ，將兩次，只要大多數商業飛機，可容納300名乘客。 The company that designed the plane,該公司設計的飛機， Reaction Engines Limited反應發動機有限公司 , claims it could be commercialized by 2030 if there is sufficient market demand. ，聲稱它可以商品化，到2030年，如果有足夠的市場需求。 This plane would have a range of 20,000 km (12,500 mi), longer than any current commercial aircraft.這架飛機將有一系列二萬公里（ 12500米） ，再比任何目前商用飛機。 Environmentally friendly, the A2 would be powered by liquid hydrogen.環保， A2中會由液態氫。
4) Manned Cloud 4 ） 載人雲
The Manned Cloud, a concept design for a載人雲，概念設計為一 flying hotel飛行酒店 , could make it around the world in three days with 40 guests and 15 staff. ，可以使世界各地的3天與40客人和15名工作人員。 The Manned Cloud and other lighter-than-air craft could usher in a載人雲和其他輕於空氣的工藝可以迎來一個 Second Golden Age of Airships第二個黃金時代飛艇 , not seen since before the Hindenberg disaster in 1937. ，以來從未見過的前欣登貝格災害在1937年。 The Manned Cloud would cruise at 80 mph, with a top speed of 105 mph.載人雲郵輪將在80哩，與最高時速一百〇五英里每小時。 It would contain numerous on-board amenities, including a restaurant, a library, a fitness suite, spa, and even a sun deck.它會包含了許多對船上康樂設施，包括一間餐廳，一間圖書館，一個健身套房，溫泉療養，甚至是遮陽甲板。 Its purpose would be to take passengers to exotic locales while eliminating the need for ecologically damaging hotels.其目的將接載乘客到異國情調的locales ，而無需生態破壞的酒店。 With dimensions of 210 x 82 x 52 m (690 x 270 x 170 ft), the Manned Cloud would be spacious indeed.尺寸為210 x 82 × 52米（ 690 x 270 x一七〇英尺） ，載人雲將寬敞的確實。 The craft was designed by Jean-Marie Massaud in cooperation with工藝設計由Jean -瑪麗massaud在合作 ONERA onera , the French aerospace lab. ，法國航空航天實驗室。 Similar designs include the類似的設計包括： Strato Cruiser strato巡洋艦 and和 Aeroscraft ML866 aeroscraft ml866 . 。
5) Orbital spaceplanes 5 ） 軌道spaceplanes
If Virgin Galactic’s suborbital如果維珍銀河的亞 SpaceShipTwo spaceshiptwo (pictured above) proves successful, it will be followed soon thereafter by （圖為以上）證明成功，隨後將盡快此後，由 SpaceShipThree spaceshipthree , an orbital spaceplane. ，一軌道spaceplane 。 SpaceShipThree would travel at orbital speeds — over Mach 20 — making it far faster than the other craft listed here. spaceshipthree將在軌道交通的速度-超過2 0馬赫-它遠遠快過其他船隻在這裡列出。 The craft could be used merely for a short orbital jaunt, a visit to a該工藝可用於只是一個短期的軌道短途旅遊，參觀一 space hotel太空酒店 , or even as a jump platform for ，或什至作為一個跳轉平台 spacediving . 。 If SpaceShipTwo does well, SpaceShipThree could be rolled out as early as 2010.如果spaceshiptwo好， spaceshipthree可以推出，早在2010年。 The craft could take a shot at the $50 million該工藝可採取的一個鏡頭在5000萬美元 America’s Space Prize美國的空間獎 , sponsored by Bigelow Aerospace.贊助，由比奇洛航天。
