There are planes on the drawing board that could take off from St. Louis and land back in St. Louis in less than 10 minutes.

There were planes that could do that 100 years ago. ; )

Are they manned? My math is horrid - but every calc I run comes up with that scenario causing killer g-forces due to acceleration.

There are planes on the drawing board that could take off from St. Louis and land back in St. Louis in less than 10 minutes. Of course,no human being could fly in such an aircraft because of the G-forces involved.

There are planes on the drawing board that could take off from St. Louis and land back in St. Louis in less than 10 minutes.Let's assume an "around the world" between those two.
Distance 25,000 miles. Time 1/6 Hour. Average speed 150,000 mph. This means linear acceleration for 5 minutes from 0 to 300,000 mph, then the same decelleration. V = at. a = 3,600,000 m/h2. a = 1,466.67 ft/s2 = 45.8 g
Is this right?

There are planes on the drawing board that could take off from St. Louis and land back in St. Louis in less than 10 minutes. When I was very new to flying I could land, take off, land, take off, land, take off and finally land, all if a very few seconds!

It may be able to take off and land in less than 10 mins but it still takes you 3 hours to get through security.

Lol, I have a remote control airplane that can do that...

My car is in similar condition.

There are planes on the drawing board that could take off from St. Louis and land back in St. Louis in less than 10 minutes. I reckon Orville and Wilbur could have pulled that off. ;)
