Airframe Optimization

While the wing design is the core technological breakthrough of the Aerion supersonic business jet, every aspect of airframe design had to be rethought for supersonic efficiency and stability of a broad speed range.

Aerion has obtained patents (and has patents pending) for fuselage contours, wing design, inlets and engine expansion nozzles and other aerodynamic features. All of these have been integrated through a multidisciplinary approach using proprietary computer software to tailor the Aerion design.
