  The new coating is 12 times more effective than current ceramics. Dennis Muilenburg, CEO of Boeing has said that hypersonic passenger jets could be in the air within the next ten years. These aircraft would cut travel times by up to 700 percent. This would mean a flight from Shanghai to New York would be reduced from 15 hours to just two.

  The privately financed project shifts Gatwick's standby northern runway 12 metres north so it can take departures alongside the main runway, adding room for around 100,000 more flights a year. The Court of Appeal dismissed the last legal challenge on 4 August 2026, and the work also covers terminal extensions, new airport buildings and a flyover at the South Terminal roundabout.
