Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 2:46 amGot a nice number on the MFD a couple of days ago which I thought was worthy of a shot. Not so fast really but pretty good for a Citation...

Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 10:14 amHeh guess it's a safer photo to take than the one of the Bugatti speedo showing 400km/h!
Saw 1100km/h GS on a 744 eastbound to OZ once, that's what? 600kts?
What's the hottest corporate jet, then?

Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 10:26 amYeah I guess I did know that.
Turning to a quick Google...
Interesting the top 4 are all nominal 8-pax
Fastest: Cessna Citation X, the Mach 0.92 private business jet.
In its wake? The Falcon 7X (Mach 0.9; 685 miles an hour), the Gulfstream G550 (Mach 0.887; 675 miles an hour) and the Gulfstream G500 (Mach 0.887; 673 miles an hour), all equipped to carry eight passengers.

Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2007 10:42 amTupolev have an ongoing project to build a supersonic bizjet, and it appears that they have support from Boeing now as well. I think it's more a technology exploration project than an attempt to really sell lots of aircraft though.
Here's a link: http://www.tupolev.ru/english/Show.asp?SectionID=199
The first half of that page details the concept, and the second half basically explains all of the problems inherent in building such an aircraft.
