In this post we discuss some of the key steps that Aerion is taking to build our supersonic business jet (spoiler: we’re assembling a team of airplane experts).

Investment and suppliers and growth, oh my! We take a moment to reflect on our successes in 2019 and prepare for all that is ahead in 2020.

Earlier this month, we welcomed Tim Fagan to the Aerion family as director of industrial design, including the interior design, for our revolutionary supersonic business jet, the AS2. Read on to learn more about his background, his interests and what he hopes to accomplish here at Aerion.

In this post we explain what causes a sonic boom to form, and we introduce what Aerion is doing to mitigate the impact of sonic booms with the AS2.

Read about how one of Aerion’s brightest engineers discovered her passion for STEM and how she’s encouraging more women to follow in her stead.

I was giving a short talk at Oshkosh, and when it came time for questions, this young girl put up her hand and asked the most profound and exciting question of the day. Her question was, “Based on all the things you talk about, do you think it’s going to be possible for airplanes to fly into space?” I’ve thought about that young girl often since that evening, and I wish I could talk to her again to give her a more thoughtful answer in person. This is what I would have said.

If you want to learn more about our deep knowledge of the supersonic industry, the environmental issues we plan to overcome, and what it’s like to revolutionize travel, follow along with us as we build a sustainable global transportation network, running at supersonic speed.

This is a heartfelt post about three young men who spent the summer working at Aerion Supersonic. If you want to change the world with us, please let me know. We would love to have you join our team.
