feet and a wingspan of 77 feet, the plane accommodates a 30-foot cabin with five customizable interiors. e "A Stateroom" design has five leather recliners, a corner television/ entertainment center and room for a couch, bed or combination piece. For business, the "Double Club" comes with eight recliners that make mobile meetings or in-transit plan- ning a (1,000 miles per hour) breeze. Customers may choose to include a couch, allowing room for 11 to sit and relax in comfort. For those looking for pleasure over work, the "Entertainment Center with Large Credenza" design offers an extend- ed television space, a bookshelf and cabinets to hold a variety of electron- ics and entertainment. Every design comes with a large galley for plenty of drink and dining options. A luxury lavatory and walk-in bag- gage area will make you forget you've been on a plane at all. Naturally, with the AS2's focus on quality, crasman- ship, technology and aesthetic, Aeri- on Supersonic allows clients to cus- tomize the plane's interior to match their desires and specifications. In 2015, rough estimates placed the jet's value at $120 million. With inflation and demand, the 2025 retail price will most likely increase. Even with the hey price tag, Aerion has lined up pre-orders from clientele who know the value of their time in today's business. With the plane's speed and range of travel, it seduces us into false asser- tions about what makes it so special. Who wouldn't mistakenly claim that its ability to shorten, to cut and to race at high speeds remain its most important qualities. In reality, the plane's ability to do the reverse make it spectacular. It creates more time, lengthens experiences and allows more space to live in earnest. It turns the waiting hours into productive ones. It lengthens the time we have outside its cabin. By saving multiple hours in a single flight, the AS2 can potentially give us days, even weeks of extra time over the plane's lifespan. e same days we spend with family and friends that would otherwise have been held hostage by business and downtime. By accelerating past the empty spaces that we'll never get back, the jet maximizes the moments that matter most to us. When looking back on a lifetime, the value of such technology might just be priceless. V U E N J . C O M 135
