How about travelling on a plane on your usual 4 hour airplane ride and cut it off to just 1hr? Boeing unveiled a rendering design of its hypersonic passenger plane in a aerospace conference in the US.
Although it is just a design, the hypersonic plane can be a potential in the next decade. Boeing CEO is pushing different aerospace minded designers to explore the ultra-fast passenger planes.
In theory, the hypersonic passenger plane can fly with a speed of a Mach 5 or under 3,900 miles per hour. With that speed a 11hour flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo will be just 3 hours away, a Manila to Taipei flight will be just 30 minutes, that’s how fast it is.

Though probably with the materials that will be using and different designs, a passenger plane for that would be cost competitive.
