QSST AT A GLANCE The Quiet Supersonic Transport (QSST) will redefine air travel in the 21st Century. With a non-stop range of more than 4,000 nautical 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 to global destinations in half the time taken by current passenger aircraft. QSST is the only jet with a patented design to revolutionize travel with a low "shaped sonic signature" over 100 times quieter than the recently retired "Concorde" supersonic aircraft. J. Michael Paulson founded SAI in 2000 to fulfill his late father’s dream of making quiet supersonic flight a reality. His father, Allen E. Paulson, founder and former CEO of Gulfstream, understood his customers and their need to minimize travel time. SAI’s vision, plan and team, coupled with Lockheed Martin’s superior technical design, will make this concept a reality. SAI has a proven history and powerful future: "QSST - a revolutionary aircraft for the "21st" century traveler."

SONIC SIGNATURE 101 QSST’s advanced integrated design reduces the sonic signature to a sound level between the interior of a car at 70 miles per hour and normal talking levels. It is predicted that the sonic signature of QSST will not be disturbing to people or structures on the ground below. QSST cruising overhead is expected to be barely audible against ordinary background noise. Click here to learn more about this unique advanced supersonic technology.

QSST AND THE ENVIRONMENT QSST was designed to be environmentally friendly and meet or exceed sound, environmental and other prevailing standards. QSST's engines will use advanced technologies to reduce takeoff and landing sound, minimize emissions during supersonic cruise, and maximize combustion efficiency at low altitude.
