Lockheed Martin has joined forces with Aerion to explore development of the Aerion AS2 supersonic business jet, the companies announced today. In tandem with that announcement, Aerion is fully opening its order book for a slightly redesigned Mach 1.4 AS2 as it continues with plans for a first fight in 2023 and certification in 2025.
