No business jet goes supersonic. I believe the fastest bizjet is the Citation X and it goes Mach .92 or so. I fly the Lear 60 and we are limited to Mach .81ish, depending on altitude.
Supposedly some companies are wanting to eventually develop a SS bizjet, but it's not even on the drawing board ($$$) as far as I know.
