Tomorrow morning, Spike Aerospace will be presenting its vision for supersonic flight at the Fast Forward Quarterly Conference. Vik Kachoria, the company's president, will discuss innovation, development and opportunity for supersonic aviation and specifically the Spike S-512 Supersonic Jet.
Boston, MA, Aug 16, 2017 - In the coming weeks, NASA will release a public request for proposals to build the QueSST aircraft, a low-boom supersonic demonstrator. This is a follow on project to the QueSST conceptual design that Lockheed Martin developed over the past two years. The project is garnering a lot of attention around the world as there [...]
Earlier this month in Denver Colorado, for the first time on one stage, six companies came together to discuss and debate supersonic flight at the AIAA Aviation 2017 conference in Denver. For Spike Aerospace, it was a wonderful opportunity to share its vision for supersonic flight, the future of aviation and explore the opportunities. The [...]
Boston, MA, Jan 24, 2017 - Spike Aerospace is expanding efforts to develop the world's first Quiet Supersonic Jet. Their sleek 18 passenger design will result in a quieter, faster, and more efficient supersonic aircraft. Engineering is on track for the first flights of a subsonic prototype of the jet. The subsonic prototype will demonstrate [...]
With all the fun parties and celebrations over, Spike Aerospace has been reflecting on what we accomplished in 2016 and what is ahead in 2017. It is amazing how quickly successes can get forgotten after day-to-day meetings, travel, and other efforts. Looking back, it was a fantastic and successful year, with 2017 looking even more [...]
There have been a lot of unexpected headlines and press lately about Spike Aerospace moving to Washington State and building a manufacturing facility there for the S-512 Quiet Supersonic Jet. It is time to set the record straight; perhaps this is long overdue. Spike Aerospace is in the very early stages of selecting a location for our [...]
What an honor it was last week to meet with Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, who personally was very interested in supersonic aviation. We had a great conversation about the impact supersonic flight will have on policy, economic growth, and business in the region. Governor Inslee was happy to hear that we had toured Paine Field [...]

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee will be speaking [...]
Brian Albright of Digital Engineering magazine recently wrote a great article on how engineering tools like CD-Adapco's Star-CCM+ software and MAYA/Siemens PLM NX CAD are helping to advance innovation in the aerospace industry. In just the last five years, maybe ten, digital engineering tools like these have really advanced, to the point where companies can [...]
Aerospace innovation is entering an exciting decade of growth. Mars travel. Micro-satellites. Sub-orbital space travel. New modes of air transportation. Drones. Use cases for increased autonomy are exploding. Technologies are near-term. Where are we heading? What startups, researchers, and executives are leading the charge? MIT Startup Exchange (STEX) is convening a workshop on Thursday, September [...]
