According to the BBC, BA now has planes that fly at Mach 1? (8,000 miles in 11 hours)
According to the BBC:

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-33196210
"The 8,000 miles (12,875km) journey from South Africa
to the UK usually takes about 11 hours."

That's more than Mach 1, based on what I remember
about the Concorde's Mach 2 speed (around 1350mph?)

Is this a new secret plane or something?
