The World's First Supersonic Business Jet Will Reach The Market In 2021

Aerion’s vehicle, which is still in the conceptual stages, will travel at maximum speeds of around Mach 1.6 (or 1.6 times the speed of sound) taking advantage of ultra laminar flow through the engines for propulsion. Facets of the design, including the sleek cabin and the pointed nose are directly reminiscent of the Concorde, while the short wingspan and engine layout are more unique in nature.

Hot on heels of SR-72 > a concorde successor of sorts ...... :)
