AIR SYSTEMS / CIVIL CONCEPT STUDIES
A family of aircraft questions.
Starshot's air programme studies the trade-offs between near-sonic business aviation, supersonic passenger transport and high-volume freight.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
These are preliminary design studies, not aircraft in service. Each one is a focused engineering question with a defined role inside a wider family.

CONCEPT STUDY
01 / S-111
Near-sonic private jet
A compact private-aviation study for high-subsonic cruise. Its extended pointed nose and forward canards explore stability, control and aircraft integration within a smaller civil platform.
- Target cruise
- 0.97 Mach
- Length
- 28 m

CONFIGURATION STUDY
02 / S-211
Joined-wing supersonic transport
The central S-211 programme explores a joined-wing passenger aircraft architecture for efficient supersonic cruise and practical high-speed transport.
- Length
- 49 m
- Box-wing span
- 18 m

EARLY CONCEPT
03 / S-221
Long-range freight aircraft
A substantially stretched S-211 derivative focused on freight volume, route efficiency and the systems questions that emerge at an approximately 80-metre civil-aircraft scale.
- Approx. length
- 80 m
- Mission focus
- Freight
