Disclosed herein is a rapid preparation process of aerogel. More specifically, the present invention relates to a rapid preparation process of aerogel which enables a considerable reduction in preparation time and preparation costs via simultaneous treatment of solvent exchange and surface-modification of hydrophilic-to-hydrophobic transition. The rapid preparation process comprises mixing a cation exchange resin with sodium silicate (water glass) as a starting material, and removing the sodium ion from the sodium silicate, to subject the sodium silicate to ion exchange; adding a base catalyst and an organosilane compound to the sodium silicate to subject the sodium silicate to gelation; aging the gellized silica gel at room temperature for 2 to 4 hours to discharge water from the silica gel and to modify the surface of the silica gel into hydrophobicity; and drying the hydrophobic silica gel at atmospheric pressure for 18 to 27 hours.
