ABOUT SAI

As the founder and former CEO of Gulfstream, Allen E. Paulson understood his company’s success was founded by understanding his customers and their need to maximize productivity by minimizing travel time without compromising passenger comfort and operating flexibility.   J. Michael Paulson founded Supersonic Aerospace International LLC (SAI) in 2000 to fulfill his late father’s vision and his mission to make “quiet supersonic flight” a reality in the 21st century.   The Quiet Supersonic Transport (QSST) is the embodiment of this vision and mission.

The QSST’s revolutionary design and sonic boom suppression technology is the culmination of over 6 years of work performed at a cost more than $40 million.   Under contract to SAI, Lockheed Martin’s famed aircraft design group, the ’Skunk Works®’ designed an exceptional supersonic aircraft that can be built, certified, and satisfy all established (and proposed) sound and environmental regulations.   Its patented design will allow QSST the capability of overland supersonic flight without an objectionable sonic sound level that limited the now-retired Concorde.   In addition, QSST will be able to utilize nearly all of the world’s major business airports, with its excellent runway and balanced field length performance.

SAI is ready to bring “quiet” supersonic travel to the world...
