The Aerion SBJ was a cancelled supersonic business jet planned by the failed American supersonic bizjet company Aerion.
It would have costed $80 million dollars, transport 8–12 passengers and fly up to Mach 1.6. It had a streamlined aluminium fuselage with an extremely long nose, a composite supersonic natural laminar flow wing, a small tailfin and two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-200 turbofan engines from the McDonnell Douglas MD-88 passenger jet series.
