Ten years after the tragic crash of the Concorde at the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris, which resulted in the retirement of the Anglo-French aircraft, a new type of supersonic plane is soon to be launched. The Aerion Supersonic Business Jet, from Aerion Corporation, will have a 50 passenger’s capacity – or 12 passengers, in the executive version – and will reach a speed, capable of going from New York to Paris in 14 minutes.
* The release is scheduled only for 2014 and even though Aerion is still being reviewed by the Federal Administration of The United States Aviation, many companies and businessmen already spent a total of US$ 4 billion to guaranty a model. This is definitely the billionaire´s new favorite toy.
