Spike Aerospace announced the addition of partners MAYA Simulation and Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) Software business to a global effort to develop the first supersonic business jet.
The partners join a global collaboration of leading aerospace firms developing the innovative Spike S-512 Supersonic Jet. MAYA Simulation and Siemens PLM Software will provide Spike with industry expertise in computer aided engineering (CAE).
“We are very excited to have industry leaders MAYA Simulation and Siemens PLM Software join our collaboration to build the world’s first supersonic business jet. Their innovative culture and deep expertise in CAE will be invaluable in developing an aircraft that will change aviation.” said Vik Kachoria, President & CEO of Spike Aerospace.
“MAYA Simulation is proud to be contributing to innovative projects like the Spike Supersonic Jet. We look forward to supporting Spike with our engineering expertise using Siemens software in the development of this advanced, next generation aircraft.” said Inta Zvagulis, President, MAYA Simulation.
Designing and bringing to market the Spike S-512 Supersonic Jet is a multi-disciplinary effort that requires collaboration from industry experts in every aspect of aerospace engineering. Spike’s global partnerships now include industry leaders in aerodynamic design, structural analysis, engines, manufacturing and computer aided engineering.
The Spike S-512 will be the first supersonic jet designed with Quiet Supersonic Flight (QSF), the proprietary technology developed by Spike to minimize the sonic boom by optimizing the aerodynamic design. Flying at supersonic cruising speed, the Spike S-512 will cut the flight time by half at the cost equivalent to a business class seat.
