These are the 5 fastest private jets you can own

The latest generation of business jets are quick.

Quick enough to shave valuable hours from airline routes, while providing extraordinary levels of comfort and customization to the lucky few who can afford them.

Each aircraft has its own "mission profile," meaning customers can choose the best options from a wide variety of aircraft and then make them their own.

Today's business aircraft are flirting with the sound barrier, and it seems only a matter of time before technology allows the world's executives and jet-set elite to follow Chuck Yeager into new realms of speed.

But until that happens, and if going quick is the main goal, these are the five fastest business jets money can buy right now.
