Implementation of civil planes powered by hydrogen engines

Description

(approx. 150 words)

Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)

Research is conducted on hydrogen turbofan for civil planes which are able to reach velocities up to 6000 km/h (Mach5). This follow-up of the Concorde using ramjets instead of turbofans reaches hypersonic and enables antipodal flights in 2-4 hours.
