About
About Aerion
Aerion places autonomous drone nodes near customer sites and operates the aircraft through its own network. A node can support scheduled patrols or launch on demand, with edge processing used to identify anomalies before selected data is transferred to the customer’s systems.
The model replaces repeated mobilisation of a pilot and aircraft with persistent regional coverage, with each node serving sites within roughly a ten-kilometre operating area under supported conditions. Aerion handles onboarding, operations, maintenance and regulatory work, while its Baltic network remains in an early rollout stage rather than complete regional coverage.

- 2021-05-21 - Org Change - Aerion Supersonic ceases AS2 operations after financing shortfall
Aerion confirmed the shutdown on May 21, 2021. The company cited difficulty raising the capital needed to complete production. The shutdown ended the AS2 supersonic business-jet program after years of development.
Source - 2019-02-05 - Partnership - Boeing partners with Aerion to accelerate supersonic travel
Boeing announced the Aerion partnership on February 5, 2019. The agreement included Boeing financial, engineering, manufacturing, and flight-test resources. Aerion positioned the AS2 as a Mach 1.4 supersonic business jet slated for first flight in 2023.
