CONCEPT STUDY

S-211-121

A joined-wing supersonic transport.

A 49-metre passenger aircraft concept built around an 18-metre box-wing configuration. The programme explores efficient supersonic cruise, structural integration and practical high-speed transport.

DESIGN EVOLUTION

A configuration is a question made visible.

Starshot uses comparative geometry studies to explore packaging, lift, stability and propulsion integration before a configuration is treated as a technical baseline. These images document design development; they are not photographs of a completed aircraft.

04 / COMPANY

Start narrow.
Build evidence.
Earn the horizon.

Starshot is building from simulation and preliminary design toward increasingly capable physical demonstrations. Every public claim is separated into requirement, estimate, simulation result or verified test.

LONG HORIZON / SPACE SYSTEMS

The focus is near-term. The horizon is not.

Scientific spacecraft remain a long-range ambition. Current company work stays centred on high-speed air systems, propulsion and the engineering tools needed to make later missions credible.
