Relativistic jets are formed by plasma injected into the rapidly rotating magnetosphere of accretion disks. The accretion disk generates a dipolar or a quadrupolar magnetosphere which also immerses the black hole. We present self-consistent solutions for the structure of this magnetosphere based on the Grad-Schlüter-Shafranov equation for the poloidal magnetic flux. The resulting supermagnetosonic jets consist of a nested family of magnetic surfaces filled with normal plasma flowing along the rotational axis of the central object.
