Spike S-512
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spike S-512 is a projected supersonic business jet, designed by Spike Aerospace, an American aerospace firm based in Boston, Massachusetts.[2] If produced, it would allow long flights, such as from New York City to London, to taking only three to four hours instead of six to seven.[1][3] The company plans promote the project with an exhibit at the 2014 EAA Airventure airshow.[4]
