  • A new generation of military helicopters.

    the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) rotorcraft and the Joint Heavy Lift (JHL) rotorcraft. The JMR rotorcraft is designed with a propulsion method similar to that of the V-22 Osprey of earlier decades. The tilt-rotor design allows for both vertical take-offs and forward thrust flight. It can sustain speeds of over 200mph, with a combat range of about 1,000 miles and maximum altitude of 6,000 feet

  • Manned mission to MarsThe most long-overdue of all space missions - a manned trip to Mars - is finally undertaken during this time.

  • Hypersonic airliners are entering service.

    Following decades of research and development, a new generation of aeroplanes is entering commercial service.* These aircraft have a cruising speed of Mach 5 - or about 3,800 mph - enabling them to fly from Europe to Australia in less than four hours. With a range of more than 20,000km (12,000 miles) they can perform this journey without refuelling and have excellent subsonic and supersonic fuel efficiency.

  • The final phase of HS2 rail link is completed.

  • Bionic eyes surpassing human vision

    Although yet to become mainstream, bionic eye implants are now available that not only restore sight, but actually exceed human vision.

    A robot football team that will be able to beat the world champions!

  • Smaller, safer, hi-tech automobiles.

    The vast majority of cars in the developed world are computer-controlled, while traffic flow and other road management issues are handled by advanced networks of AI.

  • Fully synthetic humans are becoming technically feasible.

  • Desktop PCs now have raw processing power equivalent to all of the human brains which ever existed on Earth.

  • A radio telescope is built on the Moon

  • Permanent team of scientists on Mars.
