New Company Plans Supersonic
Business Jet Business Aviation 09/27/2004
Just in time for the National Business Aviation Association convention
- a new company with plans to develop a supersonic business jet.
Brian Barents, who's held senior executive posts with Galaxy Aerospace,
Learjet, Cessna and Toyota, has teamed up with billionaire Robert
Bass to announce the Aerion Corp. of Reno, Nev. will pursue development
of a supersonic business jet. Aerion will "open a new page
of history," Barents said last week, but declined to discuss
details of the new airplane until an 0730 press conference in Las
Vegas Oct. 11.
