The supersonic flight market within the context of business travel is focused on developing and providing faster-than-sound air travel options for business professionals. This market seeks to reduce flight times drastically, thereby enabling business travelers to reach international destinations more quickly compared to traditional subsonic aircraft. Manufacturers and service providers are working on overcoming challenges such as noise pollution, especially the sonic boom created by supersonic aircraft, as well as ensuring efficiency and environmental sustainability. Supersonic jets are designed to cater to the premium segment of business travel where time savings justify the higher cost of travel. With advancements in aerodynamics, materials science, and propulsion technology, modern supersonic aircraft aim to mitigate the drawbacks that led to the Concorde's retirement and to comply with stringent regulations related to emissions and noise. Several companies are actively working in the supersonic flight market to cater to business travel needs. Prominent among these are Boom Supersonic, which is developing the Overture airliner; Aerion Supersonic, which was working on the AS2 business jet before ceasing operations in 2021; and Spike Aerospace, with its S-512 Quiet Supersonic Jet. Additionally, Lockheed Martin, in partnership with NASA, is involved in the X-59 QueSST project to provide data that could lift current bans on overland supersonic flight. Show Less Read more
