Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

 

Not sure if this kind of "jewels" could be called innovation but I am sure since it's the first supersonic private jet in the world you would like to know about it. I am sure that the average BizToolBelt reader will not be able to buy such a jet, probably not even smaller jets, but it's fun to  know that the Aerion Supersonic Private Jet was acquired by Dubai's Sheikh Rashid for a mere price of $80,000,000.

The supersonic jet is in compliance with environmental, sound and airport regulations, is able to cruise at 1.15 Mach over land, as silent as a cat and when it flies above the water you can push the "pedal" for 1.5 Mach, because it uses Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 engines. Make the math and you will come up with a 4 hours flight from Paris to New York or cross the Atlantic in 2 hours.  "Time is money" really applies here.

If you can afford it and if you can wait until 2014 then consider paying $250,000 for an early delivery position that would reserve you a right to get one of the 40 to be produced. I want to know who else will buy. Anyone in mind? Maybe Trump?
