The dreamers get closer to reality:

The plane is Reaction Engines's A2 concept, a Mach-5 (3,400mph) craft for 300 passengers funded in part by the European Union's Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologies project (Lapcat). Lapcat wants an airliner that can fly from Brussels to Sydney in less than four hours. If built, the A2 will do just thatwithout producing a trace of carbon emissions.

Still a long way off, but ... In the meantime, eat less meat.
