However, about 18 years after the Concorde’s failure, airplane manufacturers are finally announcing brand-new supersonic projects such as the world’s first supersonic combat drone! Here is all you need to know about the new jet which is currently being developed by Kelley Aerospace, a Singapore-based aviation contractor.

What will be the price of the Arrow?

Due to all the new technologies, you may be thinking that the Arrow will be very expensive. However, the price of the Arrow is only US$16 million at most, which is relatively low for a military aircraft.

Will the Arrow be successful?

There is a high chance of success for the Arrow. With many militaries striving to grab hold of the latest technologies, the Arrow will be very popular as it is the only Unmanned Supersonic Aerial Combat Drone on the market. In fact, the Arrow already has over 100 pre-orders, with the number rising rapidly.
