Boeing partners with Aerion to accelerate supersonic travel.
Boeing will be providing financial, engineering and industrial resources for the supersonic jets.
Boeing revealed yesterday that it had made a significant investment in the supersonic jet startup to accelerate the pace of the technological development and design of its aircraft. However, neither company disclosed the financial terms of the deal.
Apart from financial assistance, Boeing will also provide manufacturing, engineering, and flight test resources to Aerion to fly the AS2 prototype supersonic jet by 2023. The 12-seater AS2 aircraft is designed to fly up to Mach 1.4, or 1.4 times the speed of sound, which is ~70% faster than the current speed of business jets.
