Quiet Supersonic Transport QSST

This 12 passenger supersonic craft has a range of 4000 nautical miles and will sell for only US$80 million.

The way the QSST is able to keep itself so quiet lies in its aerodynamics. Instead of creating two large booms like most supersonic planes, the QSST is designed to create many smaller ones. (boom, boom boom, boom, boom.)

J. Michael Paulson founded SAI in 2000 to fulfill his late father’s dream of making quiet supersonic flight a reality. His father, Allen E. Paulson, founder and former CEO of Gulfstream, understood his customers and their need to minimize travel time. SAI’s vision, plan and team, coupled with Lockheed Martin’s superior technical design, will make this concept a reality.

The QSST cuts the noise of supersonic travel by a factor of 100. With its quiet speed, long range and roomy comfort, even Nancy Pelosi should enjoy flying home for the weekend.
