The development of the SBJ began in 2003 when Aerion Corporation began searching for an aerospace partner. Over the following years, Aerion began conducting wind tunnel testing while forming partnerships to begin development. Due to customer feedback and requests, the model was updated to be the Aerion AS2 which would increase the amount of possible takeoff weight and adjust the length of the aircraft to meet customer needs.
