Key Takeaways:

Exosonic and Twelve have partnered for Twelve to supply its E-Jet, a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) derived from CO2, for Exosonic's supersonic jet engines.
Twelve's E-Jet is produced using an electrolysis process that converts CO2 into jet fuel, offering 90% lower lifecycle emissions for Exosonic's supersonic UAVs and future airliner.
The U.S. Air Force is actively supporting both companies, testing Twelve's E-Jet for deployable fuel solutions and funding Exosonic's development of a supersonic UAV demonstrator for pilot training.
Exosonic plans to deliver the supersonic UAV demonstrator by 2024, using its development and future sales to advance its 70-passenger supersonic airliner project.
