That link didn't make me feel much better. They're planning to "tweak an off the shelf engine for supersonic speed". When I hear off the shelf engines, I think turbofans, but no amount of tweaking is going to make a turbofan work at supersonic speeds. It's possible they can get some military grade afterburning turbojets from somewhere, but it's not something you can buy off of the shelf.
Their webpage has a bunch of guys standing around what looks like a Vietnam-era jet engine.
Also, if they're planning to have something flying in 20 months, they should be beyond the cardboard and plywood mockup phase of development.
The more I see about this company the more I think it's a scam.
For comparison, the Concorde took about 21 years to develop. Granted, it was a massive clusterfuck, but they also had to solve a lot of issues along the way.
