(Boston, MA) -- Three Washington cities are being considered by a startup aerospace company to locate a facility to manufacture a supersonic jet. The "Spokesman-Review" reports Spike Aerospace of Boston, Massachusetts is designing the jet, which would carry 18 passengers and would cruise at Mach one-point-six, or about 12-hundred miles per hour. A trip from New York to Los Angeles would be completed in just over three hours. Spike's chief executive officer said at a recent aerospace conference in Lynnwood that Washington is one of the top contenders for the manufacturing plant, with Spokane, Moses Lake, and Everett being considered for location of the facility.
