Supersonic jet developer Aerion remains on track to begin producing its AS2 business jet at a new headquarters in Melbourne, Florida in 2023.
The company, which has been based in Reno, has hired Jacksonville, Florida-based development firm Haskell to lead construction of the new facility, which will sit on 44.5ha (110 acres) at Orlando Melbourne International airport.
“Work on the new park is under way, with major construction work commencing later this year ahead of the first AS2 aircraft flight-test vehicle commencing production in 2023,” Aerion said on 25 January.

The race is heating up to produce the first supersonic passenger aircraft to enter commercial service in more than 50 years.
US planemaker Aerion, whose AS2 jet promises to fly New York to London in 4.5 hours, is building a massive new global headquarters in Florida ahead of production beginning on the supersonic craft in 2023.
It’s a big step forward for the company, which will use some of the $300 million it has attracted in capital investment to develop the 110+ acre Aerian Park in Melbourne, right next to Orlando Melbourne International Airport.
