Following the recent shuttering of Boeing-backed supersonic aircraft developer Aerion, Boeing’s chief executive says his company lost confidence in the value of its investment in supersonic start-ups.
CEO David Calhoun, however, insists Boeing is committed to continuing support of another start-up, air taxi developer Wisk Aero.
“We evaluated it year in and year out, and we got to a decision where… we didn’t believe in it quite as much as we thought we could,” Calhoun says on 3 June, responding to a question about Aerion.
