Aerion business Jet
What is it?
It is a new business jet. 
Well, this one has an ace up its sleeve. It is supersonic.
What? I thought that died with the Concorde?
Apparently not, this small start-up believes that the super-rich want a way to travel fast from points A to B.
But, you can’t fly supersonic over land because of the boom, can you?
Aerion claims to have developed a whole new “no boom” technology that will allow supersonic flight overland without the glass-breaking sonic boom.
How fast is it?
Well, including stops, you should be able to get from Mumbai to New York in under 10 hours, compared to the 15 hours that a non-stop flight takes today.
How much will it cost?
The aircraft’s manufacturers are targeting a base price of $80 million (Rs 392 crore), equivalent to a large business aircraft such as the Airbus ACJ or Boeing BBJ.
