Since most flights serve mainly peanuts, flying may become merely monkey business. If apes were ever trained as low-cost pilots, then beware!  The friendly skies could turn into a real jungle.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phillip B.

However; till now they have been cost prohibitive except for military and other deep pockets. As for safety, once the material concerns are worked out, it would be much safer as there are minimal moving parts. If you research on the ground and in the air failures of aircraft, you'll find many related the turbines/compressors as found in normal jet engines. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[grn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2007 10:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Two-Hour New York-Tokyo Flights Coming Soon?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/two-hour-flights-from-new-york-to-tokyo-coming-soon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/two-hour-flights-from-new-york-to-tokyo-coming-soon/</guid><description><![CDATA[Look to the SR 71 for further insight]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[grn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 20th 2007 10:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Two-Hour New York-Tokyo Flights Coming Soon?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/two-hour-flights-from-new-york-to-tokyo-coming-soon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/12/17/two-hour-flights-from-new-york-to-tokyo-coming-soon/</guid><description><![CDATA[war mongering technonazis is it? <br>Well to the tree-hugging liberal morons think this is just for military, think again. <br><br>The cold reality is, this media that you are posting on, the materials in your car, the calculator you figure up your yuppie salary on, and many other things all had their roots in military research.
