First, unlike Raven Model A, the SSTO orbital version. Raven Business Jet is not an orbital version, but a long range human passenger hypersonic business jet that is able to cruise at Mach 8-10 safely with a range beyond 7,000 miles, Reaching 8,000 NM is becomes nothing more then gliding another thousand miles before air braking.

Normal long range private aircraft, a 7,000 mile flight could easily endure a 13-14 hour trip time. With Raven, the same flight will average apx 1.5 hours, including take off, accent, descent, and landing. Actually time at high velocity enroute, apx 1 hour.

 

Raven is a new kind of plane. Able to fly at subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic velocities up to Mach 10, for normalized hypersonic flight and 6,000F thermal resistance at hypersonic velocities.

 

Flight Times

  
   London UK to Sydney Australia 1.5 Hours (2 hours including accent and decent)
   London UK to Buenos Aires 1 Hours (1.5 hour including accent and decent)
   New York to London UK 1/2 Hours (1 hour including accent and decent)
   New York to Sydney Australia 1.5 Hours (2 hours including accent and decent)
   Moscow Russia to Christchurch New Zealand 1.5 Hours (2 hours including accent and decent)
   Beijing China to Johannesburg South Africa 1 Hour (1.5 hours including accent and decent)

 

Overall, the entire planet is no more then 2 hours flight time on average.

 

At 105ft length, this aircraft is roughly the same length as a Gulfstream G650, and seats 22.  Length of 105ft and span of 46ft; aircraft weight is roughly 50,000-55,000 lbs at take off at max fuel and passenger load, due to fuel being gaseous and the entire airframe is 3D printed Graphene.   Fuel weight with maximum fuel load, is only around 6,700 LBS of compressed hydrogen. That's right, only around 6,700 LBS; because it no longer uses liquid fuels. 

To compare that to a regular fixed with aircraft,  Raven is like taking off on empty, when considering the weight. It's light, which means it can fly very height without the drag from huge volumes of fuel. Instead, it's fuel is 8.000-16,000 PSI compressed hydrogen providing a massive volume of fuel capacity; which is required for such extreme thrust and velocities.

Raven in atmosphere configuration to become a business jet, but since it is so light and at those velocities, is able to cruise from 100,000-125,000ft altitude.   In comparison, the SR-71 Blackbird cruised at 70,000ft atmosphere due to it being fueled by hydro carbon, ie Kerosene and weight much more due to that aspect.
 


*There are additional features which would allow Raven to cruise from 150,000+ ft but that aspect remains confidential and not for commercial/private flight subject matters.

 

Raven is able to withstand temperatures to 6,000-6,500F, which means for hypersonic velocities are as normal as an F-18 Super Hornet traveling at Mach 1.  Temps for hypersonic flight range from around 2,600 to 3,000F around 70,000-95,000ft. Since Raven is able to fly even higher, the friction from atmosphere is less, so surface temps would be slightly lower then lower altitudes,  but would encounter those temperatures on decent while decelerating, which would be slowed down to around Mach 1 at around 40,000ft on decent. 

 

Range of Raven, is beyond 7,000 nautical miles within the atmosphere at hypersonic velocities, which is achieved because we have integrated our own engineering for high pressure storage of Hydrogen (and oxygen for space flight) which no longer use cylinders but can be shaped into any overall geometry desires. Since this technology is used, the strength of the aircraft itself becomes many times compared to aircraft today.

Overall fuel capacity for Raven Hypersonic Business Jet is 20,000 gallons, which since it is designed to be fueled by hydrogen,  that reduces overall take off weight greater then 85,000 LBS.  For a conventional aircraft of its size (similar to a Gulfstream G650),  it would be all but impossible for that kind of aircraft to take off, since it would simply be so heavy it would have to be taking off at Mach 1.  Not Raven,  take off weight fully fueled is about 60,000 LBS and with 20 passengers and 3 crew, and V1 at apx 180 kts. Landing, apx 120-130 kts.

 

Operating costs for Raven Hypersonic Business Jet, are roughly around the same costs as a Gulfstream G650 as well. Since it doesn't use jet fuel, instead it is fueled with hydrogen which can be produced via water electrolysis. The costs to operate are immensely reduced to around $5,000 and hour. 


And another advantage of that: NO CARBON OUTPUT.  Correct, this aircraft is a 0 Carbon Hypersonic Aircraft.

Details of the internal mechanics and physics involved that makes this bird function are proprietary and not public.  But overall,  this is not meant as a one off prototype Mach 6 aircraft using the older technology of TBCC or China's RBCC,  but true all in one propulsion, Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle (U-TBCC), which makes hypersonic propulsion systems for larger aircraft standardized and saves immense airframe deficit which can then be used for more fuel or payload capacity.
