Fastest supersonic business jet aircraft of the future spike s 512


The Spike S-512 is a projected supersonic business jet, designed by Spike Aerospace, an American aerospace manufacturer firm based in Boston, Massachusetts. If produced, it would allow long flights for business and private travelers, such as from New York City to London, to take only three to four hours instead of six to seven. The company planned to promote the project with an exhibit at the 2014 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh airshow.

The aircraft will not have windows for the passengers, instead it will be lined with tiny cameras sending footage to thin, curved displays lining the interior walls of the fuselage and Spike originally expected to launch the plane by December 2018. Spike Aerospace expects to fly a subsonic scale prototype in summer 2017 to demonstrate low-speed aerodynamic flight characteristics, followed with a series of larger prototypes and a supersonic demonstrator by the end of 2018 and expects to certify the S-512 by 2023.
