May 28, 2021: Why Did Aerion Supersonic Implode?

Author: Aviation International News May 29, 2021 Duration: 29:11

This week, AIN senior editors Kerry Lynch and Charles Alcock help to dissect why Aerion Supersonic fizzled out last Friday. Kerry delves into what happened, if demand still exists for a supersonic business jet, and what's next for Aerion—or more accurately, it's intellectual property. Meanwhile, Charlie gives a look at the current aerospace funding environment and whether investment in eVTOLs is sucking air from longer-term projects such as Aerion.
