Chuck Yeager was the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound over 75 years ago. The first supersonic passenger flight was almost 50 years ago. So why haven't passenger flights flown supersonic for nearly 20 years? One big reason is the loud, disruptive sonic boom that shook windows when a supersonic aircraft flew overhead. Exosonic aircraft are designed with sonic boom shaping technology to mute the sonic boom and avoid the disruptive booms of the past. By the time the sonic boom reaches the ground, the sonic boom will be softer, no louder than a car door closing down the street. This shaping design means that typical city traffic will drown out the sound of the sonic boom.
Developing the world's first low boom supersonic aircraft
Exosonic is setting the standard for faster flight with a low boom 5000 nmi range, 70 passenger supersonic airliner.

OVERWATER AND OVERLAND
Exosonic is working with regulatory bodies to support the amendment of the ban on overland supersonic flight. Instead of a blanket ban on supersonic flight, Exosonic supports a sound limit that will allow supersonic flight that doesn't disturb those on the ground. Studies are currently being conducted to evaluate the acceptable noise level by people on the ground.
Setting the new standard for travel
We want everyone to be able to fly supersonic one day - not just the ultra-wealthy. So Exosonic is designing our aircraft to fly twice as fast at business class fares.
EXECUTIVE MODEL
Two private suites, first 3-passenger suite capable of video teleconferencing (VTC) for the DV to securely communicate in flight and second 8-passenger suite for senior staffers and guests to work collaboratively and rest. The second private suite has layflat seats that allow passengers to sleep on board. Both private suites have VIP-level business jet seats.
The ultimate in business jets -- luxury leather and suede from Tapis of New York, oak and quartz fittings, wool and silk custom carpeting by Scott Group Studio, private suites for work and rest.
COMMERCIAL MODEL
The commercial cabin will be a dual-class cabin arrangement where the front will have 10 traditional lie-flat seats and the back will have 60 premium-economy style seats. There is room for seven crew members. There are two mid and one aft lavatories plus a full aft galley.
Get to your destination in half the time
We want to take flight routes presently lasting 4 to 11 hours, and cut them in half. Transporting important leaders across the globe in half the time, can be the difference between success and failure.

A MUTED EXPERIENCE INSIDE & OUT
Boom drowned out by city noise
A low boom aircraft will create a softer thump on the ground that will be quieter than typical traffic.

Exosonic is after something radical. A boom so quiet that our supersonic planes can fly anywhere, and open a vast number of markets by driving ticket prices down from Concorde’s stratospheric levels.

SUSTAINABILITY
We believe that progress in speed does not require sacrificing the environment. Therefore, Exosonic is actively working to ensure that a world with supersonic aviation doesn't further negatively impact our planet.
