How big Super Sonic Business Jet is needed?
Dassault made an estimate late last year:

Falcon 7x?
Falcon 7X cabin, IIRC is:
somewhat narrower than Bombardier Challenger/CRJ, and Concorde
somewhat wider than Gulfstream II...V, and wider than ERJ/Legacy.
The 7X cabin is far shorter than Concorde, and shorter than Gulfstream V or Bombardier Global.
How exactly does Falcon 7X cabin length compare against Embraer Legacy?

Current technology suggests such an aircraft would have a mtow of well over 100,000 pounds and a carbon footprint around four to five times that of a subsonic aircraft comparable in weight and size

not sure aerion is making much progress
latest 2 announcements are more complex
after space tourism, virgin is looking at suborbital transport

Cabin dimensions for height, width, length:
Falcon 7X: 6.2' 7.7' 39.1'
EMB Legacy 600: 6.0' 6.9' 49.8'
