Spike Aerospace’s efforts to develop the supersonic S-512 business jet are receiving a boost under a partnership with Indian technology giant Tech Mahindra. Through the partnership, Tech Mahindra will bring engineering, optimization, and composites expertise to the low-boom Mach 1.6 jet.
"I’m very much looking forward to working with Tech Mahindra and their experienced team of engineers,” said Spike president and CEO Vik Kachoria, noting Tech Mahindra’s Aerospace and Defense Group has provided engineering support to a number of commercial, business aviation, and defense programs. This has included design and analysis, verification, testing, and certification support. “Spike will be able to leverage their expertise in composite airframe design, stress analysis, and optimization.”
