Aircraft / Aria S242 Supersonic
A member of the Aria Supersonic Transport (SST) family, the Aria S242 Supersonic is a narrow-body, ultra-long range quad-engine supersonic jet airliner developed and manufactured by Aria Aircraft Company, a commercial aircraft company headquartered in Denver, Colorado USA.
The Aria S242 is currently available only in a passenger configuration.
Aria executives and engineers considered developing a cargo and/or combi version of the aircraft, but more recently opted to develop an aftermarket P2F (passenger to freighter) conversion program instead. The converted freighter would be named the Aria S242-P2F.
Reference: none - fictional; inspired by the BAe/Aerospatiale Concorde.
