If a suborbital flight from NY to Beijing will cover about 7k miles in an hour, what will that trajectory be and at what speed (including the Earth's rotation)? Will most of the flight be above the Kármán line?

2$\begingroup$ Note: 7,000 miles/hour is only 3.13 km/s. (Only on Space Exploration is over 3,000 meters/second an "only".) $\endgroup$– userCommented Mar 22, 2016 at 10:21
