Spike’s Innovative Multiplex
Digital Cabin
On the Spike S-512 Diplomat Supersonic Jet, you’ll travel in luxury with a stunning panoramic view of the world around you. The small cabin windows have been replaced with our revolutionary Multiplex Digital Screens providing full-length, high definition displays for an incredible flying experience. The fuselage is insulated from the outside engine and wind noise, making the cabin much quieter and more comfortable experience.
You’ll build and maintain better relationships, explore new ventures, and stay in touch with the people who matter most.

Quiet Supersonic Flight
Without the Sonic Boom
Supersonic travel over continents necessitates aircraft designed for minimal or no sonic boom, to avoid the disruptive thunderclaps that characterized Concorde’s flights. Disturbing communities and the environment for the sake of speed is not a viable option.
The Spike S-512 Supersonic Diplomat achieves this with advanced engineering that reduces its noise signature to a mere soft thump, nearly eliminating the boom—this is as close to silence as physics permits. Now, you can traverse oceans or continents—from the US to Europe, Asia, or the Middle East—in half the time, with minimal disturbance.

Some people have all the time in the world to smell the roses — for them, a slow plane is just fine.
But if your time is precious, supersonic flights help you get things done, see more and relax more.
Aviation &
Climate Change
Aviation produces 2.5% of the Green House Gases (GHG) that are contributing to climate change. But even this is too much and needs to be addressed with innovative engine technology, optimized aircraft designs, regulations and changes to flight operations. The industry is on a fast track to battery powered, hydrogen fueled and synthetic fueled aircraft that will offer aviation with net-zero (or better) carbon emissions. Over the next decade, advances in technology and aviation will enable us to explore the world without damaging it — even at supersonic speeds.
