Over land, sure, but over the ocean, I don't really see the problem? Just wait until you're clear enough of the coast and then floor it.


That's been the status quo since Concorde. The problem is it's hard to make a supersonic jet that has decent subsonic performance, you kind of have to pick one flight regime or the other to optimize for. And the market for business jets that you can only really fly transoceanic is small.
