The Quiet Supersonic Transport (QSST) will redefine air travel in the 21st Century.
With a range of more than 4,000 miles, QSST will be able to fly at uninterrupted supersonic speeds over land and sea. Up to twelve passengers will be able to travel in large cabin comfort in half the time taken by current aircraft. QSST is the only jet with a patented low "shaped sonic signature" which is over 100 times quieter than the "Concorde" supersonic aircraft. Lockheed expects the boom to be imperceptible -- quieter than a kite flying overhead. SAI plans to build the aircraft by 2014 for about $80 million.
