Virgin Galactic, the space tourism arm of billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin empire, will work with engine maker Rolls-Royce to develop an aircraft capable of travelling at around three times the speed of sound.

Rolls-Royce North America Chairman Tom Bell says in the statement that his company “brings a unique history in high speed propulsion, going back to the Concorde, and offers world-class technical capabilities to develop and field the advanced propulsion systems needed to power commercially available high-Mach travel.”

Virgin says that it has already demonstrated that its design concept “can meet the high-level requirements and objectives of the mission.” The successful return to super-sonic flight will mark the first time since 2003 that Concorde planes have been in commercial use. The Virgin Galactic’s New York Stock Exchange-listed shares rose 5% Monday as of 1:45 pm E.T. to $23.49.

Following an investigation, Orbit confirmed Monday that the rocket failed due to a breach in a high-pressure line carrying cryogenic liquid oxygen to the first-stage combustion chamber. The engine soon stopped providing thrust and the demonstration launch ended.
