Aerion continues to build out its supplier base, selecting Rosen Aviation to develop a new cabin management and technology system for the AS2 supersonic business jet. The 10-passenger cabin will bring together “traditional craftsmanship with cutting edge technologies,” said Tim Fagan, Aerion head of industrial design and cabin experience. “We look forward to collaborating with Rosen to create a truly immersive and intuitive cabin environmental that delivers previously unseen levels of passenger-technology interface.”

The selection of Rosen comes as Aerion has opted for well-established, proven suppliers when possible to help reduce risk of its supersonic program. Eugene, Oregon-based Rosen brings a 40-year background in cabin electronics to its latest contract.
