If you want fly from germany to australia it takes up to 21 hours. That is an incredible long time. And so far no real alternative is existing at the moment.
The Deutsche Luft- und Raumfahrtagentur plans to change that. They started a project called space liner. It is a hybrid between a conventional airplane and the space shuttle. The project is funded from ESA, Airbus and the german government. construction is planned in the next ten years and commercial use by 2050.
The space liner can give room for up to 50 passengers. It launches and accelerates up to 28.000 km/h. It enters space in a few minutes and goes into a parabolic orbit. It would re enter the athmosphere and land at the target destination at the airport like any normal airplane.
You can see here potential profitable routes for our system:
The space liner solves a problem that other hypersonic airplanes suffer. It enters space, so it escapes much of the friction of athmospheric flight.
It would fly from germany around the world in under 90 minutes.
The basic technology was tested through the FAST20XX program, which served as basis for the entire project.
They already made the actual concept of the machine and develop the interior at the moment and integrate the heat protection system for reentry. That is the touchy part of the project, since the tiles of the space shuttle always were a sensitive subject. They also develop a version for shorter distances that can carry 100 passengers.
You can see more details about the SpaceLiner at the webcast of the DLR.
We also did a first drop and gliding test with a scale model at Airbus. The model was dropped from a 3000 meter altitude and the data collected for further improvements
