A supersonic civilian air transport designed to replace the Concorde. Features fly-by-wire, low maintenance costs, and the most important feature, the ability to supercruise.

Whereas the Concorde required afterburners to reach it's crusing speed of Mach 2, The UltraCruise can reach it's cruising speed of Mach 1.6 without the use of afterburners, making it more economic to operate.

The UltraCruise uses 35% Airbus parts, resulting in lower maintenance costs due to commonality.

Speed: Mach 1.6
Powerplant: Six MK-2 Turbofans
