A new 110 Acre Campus to build Supersonic Aircraft is on its way to the Florida Space Coast. Aerion has agreed to build the new campus with Haskell in Melbourne, FL. The state of the art campus will also serve as Aerion's global headquarters.
Production of the AS2, the first supersonic business jet should begin rolling of the assembly line in 2023.
Per Space Coast Daily: The AS2 private jet seeks to deliver carbon neutral flight, and the home in which it will be created aims to be the most environmentally sustainable of its kind in the aerospace sector.
Aerion Park is planned to be powered by clean energy – using the very latest in photovoltaic solar technology to generate energy for manufacturing. On-site electric vehicle charging stations will also be installed and rainwater that lands on the campus reused.
Recycled materials will be used in the construction of Aerion Park wherever possible, sourced locally to minimize emissions and the Park will be dedicated to creating zero waste.
Aerion has already established a temporary office location on the Orlando Melbourne International Airport campus to house a growing Florida-based employment base.
Work on the new Park is underway, with major construction work commencing later this year ahead of the first AS2 aircraft flight test vehicle commencing production in 2023.
Aerion plans to deliver 300 aircraft over ten years of production, supported by a growing domestic and international order backlog which now tops $7 billion.
