Aerion failed spectacularly with their Mach 1.6 jet concept despite having 20 firm preorders worth $2.5 billion as well as engines sourced from Rolls Royce. What makes you think a ragtag startup can manage a Mach 5 jet?

Ok cool story bro but here's a new mach 9 hyperlight rocketship coming in 2026. The Coom Turbo SEX-9000. It has already tested its supercharged cramjet rocket engines in a computer simulation.
Coom has already received orders from over 100 airlines and is rumored to be working with SpaceX to produce the engines.
The future is looking bright for hypersonic travel.

>no cockpit windows, or any windows
I can see it: making big glass windows that can handle Mach 5 will be a technical challenge and will not be light either. Cameras can give the pilots all the information they need, and landing this thing manually with no computer support will not be possible anyway. The cockpit real estate used by windows would be better occupied by huge screens with a virtual view anyway… As a passenger, passenger windows are kinda nice but something I could do without, especially if the plane gave me more live data than a dot on a map!
But where IS the cockpit? In the front because tradition? In the back with the (relatively) cheap seats? In an office park in India because having onboard meat-pilots in any aircraft is looking kinda weird these days?

As I recall, airline cockpit windows are rated to handle the worst case of colliding with a goose at cruise. They have a big air gun that fires turkeys to test them! Some windows are just really thick and strong like bullet resistant glass. The more modern plastic ones are designed to deform a lot and accelerate the bird just before it hits the pilots face: that would be exciting. A lot goes into it; it’s all cutting edge stuff. Is there ANY technology to make a large transparent window able to handle an adult goose impacting at Mach 5?! Military pilots can take a soldiers chance, Concord was built in the 70’s when the public was braver, I don’t see how it could be done today. Fancy engines are only part of the problem, it’s all these details that gobble up the development budget.

And the other thing you forgot, is that they actually faked some half-decent video footage of a fuckjet switching to penis mode. I've participated in a lot of amateur filmmaking events, and let me tell you, the easiest way to fake footage like that would be to invest in some fancy expensive multi-axis CNC machining centers and then mill an incredibly complex thing that operates at like high temperatures and shit. Which they did all that already. And you didn't. Also they hired a bunch of fucking hipsters, which is inexplicable because hipsters aren't capable of producing anything usually.

Yeah. Figure out when the fucking flock of geese is, using radar or RFID GPS conservation tags or some shit, and then, simple avoid making every single possible effort to run into them.
You think geese are like, flying at Everest heights just to look at bread crumbs and shit? For them it's this epic journey, it's like Ulysses on his boat with his archers and whatnot. They're not gonna go random directions, just detect them and avoid them.

This is the aerospace version of a kickstarter video.

They're just after funding and so throw out these hype videos to create market buzz. They're not necessarily even attempting to create a product, the funding will justify fat CEO salaries and the marketers and investment people will take commissions on the money they bring in.

It's a lot like Star Citizen, the business model isn't in delivering a product, it's in funding the "development".

Why did Aerion fail? They were in the final stages of selecting fuselage and wing component contractors and would have begun building the prototype.

They proved that there was a fairly sized market for such an Aircraft with the Flexjet preorders.

Yes, but the black project that needed those engines has been a great success. Or did you not know how black procurement works?

Except program crashed on the moment Rolls Royce told them fork out the money for full development of engine. Rest of engine manufacturers told 'em to fuck off prior to even doing preliminary feasibility studies for engine that might meet their requirements.

The name sounds like some fancy ship's name out of a lame direct to dvd scifi movie from the early 2000's, and it also looks the part. The wing logo designs are cheesy as hell. I guess it might as well actually be a scifi movie asset since all it'll ever be is a 3D render and empty hype.
