Concorde-style air travel could be back soon – these powerful EV motors are unlocking the secrets to supersonic air speeds

UK engineering firm Helix Motors has partnered with supersonic aviation specialist Astro Mechanica to develop revolutionary hybrid-electric engines that could restore Concorde-style passenger flights within a decade. The system uses ultra-lightweight electric motors delivering over 1,200 horsepower each in a dual-propulsion design that efficiently operates from takeoff to Mach 3+ speeds, potentially making supersonic travel as affordable as current commercial flights.
