The SSBJ (SuperSonic Business Jet) “Fanstream” concept. What appears to be a heavily modified Sukhoi Su-34 fighter-bomber - with a passenger cabin (detachable, in case of emergency), and a rocket engine for suborbital flight..
This does not appear to be a Sukhoi project, and there appears to be no updates on the status of this highly ambitious venture since early February. It would be interesting if anyone has any information about the people/company behind this..?
