Reno, Nevada, February 14, 2013 –
Aerion Corporation, an aerodynamics technology company, today announced that the next round of high-speed test flightsin conjunction with NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center began on January 31, with approximately 10 flights to occur during a six-to-eight week period. These tests, using an Aerion phase two test article mounted under the centerline position of NASA’s F-15B research aircraft flown at speeds up to Mach 2.0, are intended to measure the real-world robustness of supersonic natural laminar flow, a vital element in the company’s design for the world’s first Supersonic Business Jet (SBJ).
Aerion Corp has taken deposits for this aircraft but what is the consensus - is this project in fact likely to get off the ground and enter production?
Any reliable news welcome.
