Two companies (Aerion and SAI) are planning jets that are expected to launch around 2012/2013, but though supersonic aircraft could be a market successes in the long term, in the next ten years they are expected to have only a small market niche and not to make a great impact on the general business aviation market activity due to high prices (~$80M). Aerion’s forecast suggests a demand for 250-300 air-craft worldwide over ten years.
