ABOUT US:
Astro Mechanica is a vertically integrated aerospace company building a faster, more connected future.

To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies—which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system—with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today.
