Range and Time

Whether a trip is completed entirely at subsonic speeds, at maximum supersonic cruise or some combination thereof, range remains nearly constant.
From New York, a range of more than 4,000 nm brings all of Europe and most of Brazil within easy reach. Asia is one stop away.
Approved supersonic corridor over Canada enables one-stop
U.S. East Coast to Asia in five hours less time than flying
nonstop at Mach .85. Aerion time: 9 hours, 33 minutes,
including one hour for fuel stop.
Aerion SBJ lands in New York after 4 hours 14
minutes. A subsonic jet would land more than three
hours later.
Transcontinental U.S. at Mach .98 saves
41 minutes over Mach .85 aircraft: 4 hours,
19 minutes versus 5 hours.
Aerion SBJ saves about one
hour from New York to Miami
by flying at Mach 1.6 over water: 1 hour 33 minutes versus 2 hours 27 minutes at Mach .85.
Range from Dubai
Aerion jet reaches all of Europe
and most of Asia nonstop.
Dubai to Singapore in
four hours, 15 minutes, cutting
travel time almost in half.
Aerion flies Dubai to Tokyo in seven hours, 44 minutes at .98
Mach shaving two hours off the time in a conventional aircraft.
Dubai to London in four hours,
55 minutes versus six hours,
40 minutes in a conventional
business jet.
Dubai to New York in nine hours, 36 minutes, even with a one-hour fuel stop.
Aerion saves travelers and crew from a 14 and a half- hour flying day.
