Welcome to another short episode of Info under the radar, the show where we deconstruct everyday ideas, concepts, and subjects that surround us.

In this episode, Devendra and Vishwajeet explore the Air Travel landscape. Decades ago we were able to travel faster than speed of sound... what happened to that? We should have been teleporting by now, right? Well this is where Sci-Fi and Science kind of go there separate ways. 

We ventured into the history of Concorde, the once famous Aerodynamic Marvel, talked about some basic concepts your should be aware of when you decide to read about such stuff like difference between supersonic and hypersonic, mach number etc. We tried to cover what is scientifically possible as of now and in the near future and of course some "dreamy" ideas that might/might not become a reality in future.
