The Aerion SBJ was a supersonic business jet project designed by American firm Aerion Corporation.
Unveiled in 2004, the designer sought a joint venture with a business aircraft manufacturer for a $1.2–1.4 billion development in 7–8 years.
Aerion received 50 letters-of-intent before enlarging the design as the Aerion AS2 in 2014.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 engines, the $80 million aircraft was to transport 8–12 passengers up to Mach 1.6 and up to 4,000 nmi (7,400 km).
Aerion abruptly announced on May 21, 2021 that it will be shutting down due to inability to raise capital.
