This is Squirrel Industries first attempt at making an airliner.
It's a Supersonic airliner as the title suggests and will quite happily fly at altitude. It's about 28 meters in length which puts it about half the size of the classic Concorde. Unlike Concorde, it has a different engine set up. Initially, only one engine will run, this is to reduce noise over populated areas. However, over seas and other unpopulated areas, activator 1 can then be used, which allows the ES-44 to break the sound barrier.
Unfortunately, this aircraft was in development before the Squirrel Industries Raven engines were finalised, so it doesn't benefit from them, although fuel economy is still decent for an aircraft of this nature.
Next in line in the ES series is a jet trainer. But until then, happy flying!

@CaesiciusPlanes yes, why?
.
@Kitsune thank you!!!!!
@MrSilverWolf Thank you!
Looks awesome
@CaesiciusPlanes Thank you!
@General360 Thank you. The design was part inspired by the F/A-18 as well as obviously Concorde.
@TheLatentImage What you did there. I see it XD Also, thank you!
Nice work, I like the look and feel of this. The blue on white looks nice, and it feels like I'm flying a large aircraft.
Last!
