Aerion, a company backed by Texas billionaire Robert Bass that\u2019s designing a supersonic business plane, outlined plans for a 50-passenger jetliner that would fly four times the speed of sound and take to the skies before the end of this decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commercial aircraft would fly faster and farther than the private jet, with a goal of reaching Tokyo from Los Angeles in three hours, Aerion said in an emailed statement Monday. Despite the uncertain outcome of Aerion\u2019s efforts to bring a viable plane to market, the company promised technology \u201cto improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of supersonic flight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aerion is vying with startups including Boom Technology Inc. to be the first to replace the out-of-service Concorde, the only passenger aircraft to fly faster than the speed of sound. But the would-be planemakers are grappling with the same problems that caused the Concorde\u2019s demise in 2003: hefty fuel burn as well as sonic booms and noisy engines that resulted in bans on civilian supersonic speeds over most countries, Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded by Bass almost two decades ago, Aerion is working with General Electric Co. to design a new engine and won backing from Boeing Co. two years ago. The AS2, as the business jet is known, is scheduled to fly in 2027. It got a boost this month with a 20-aircraft order from NetJets, the largest luxury-aircraft operator and a unit of Warren Buffett\u2019s Berkshire Hathaway Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aerion\u2019s proposed jetliner is called the AS3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
