From far looks like it says “Boring Business Jet” here
The most expensive jet in the world is manufactured by General Dynamics in Georgia, and is a variant on a wide range of private jets. The Gulfstream G550 has a 12,000 km range, and is designed for drag reduction, while featuring enhanced vision systems and heads up displays. Early models were provided for the Israeli Government and today it is used as a personal transporter for the Kuwaiti Royal Family and the President of the United States. [links]
The XRS: Giving the middle fingers to passing-by planes.
This corporate jet was developed from Bombardier 7000 and 5000 models, and has been adapted for multiple uses. The XRS design represented a slight modification that expanded interior size and added power, and was launched in October 2003. The jet features two BMW RollsRoyce BR-710 turbo fans, and weighs in at an impressive $47,700,000 million. The flightdeck includes a Honeywell Primus 2000 XP EFIS, as well as heads up displays.
The Bombardier Global Express XRS is further distinguished by its ability to jet between different continents without the need to refuel, and takes 15 minutes less time to refuel than previous models. The Bombardier jet’s range has made it the vehicle of choice for many German, UK and US military and state flights. Private owners include South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, who also has the distinction of being one of the few civilians to have been into space. Anil Ambani, one of the richest men in India, also owns a Bombardier, which can typically seat 8 to 19 passengers for a flight. more
The Cessna Citation Mustang, also known as the Model 510, is a very light business jet produced by Kansas-based aircraft company Cessna. The jet has enough space for four passengers and two crewmembers, and it first took to the air on April 23, 2005. Featuring swept wings attached close to the lower part of the plane’s fuselage, this jet falls into the low wing category, while its frame is mainly composed of an aluminum alloy. Powered by dual PW615F turbofan engines, the 40 foot 7 inch jet has a maximum speed of 480 mph and a range of 1,343 miles. Plus, the Citation Mustang is capable of reaching an altitude of 41,000 feet.
Encompassing various versions, the Cessna CitationJet series has been popular ever since the first model took flight on April 29, 1991. Based on the Cessna Aircraft Company’s Model 525, the CJ4 jet is the seventh jet in the series and was introduced in 2006. Building on the CJ3, the CJ4 features an extended cabin and – taking its cues from the Citation Sovereign – a swept wing. Although it has been labeled the “heavy hitter of light jets,” the CJ4 encountered an early stumbling block when in 2011 the FAA temporarily grounded the jet over battery concerns; however production has since resumed. Certified to be flown by one pilot, the jet can carry a total of nine passengers, while it has a maximum range of 2,259 miles and a top cruise speed of 519 mph.
In June 2004 Bombardier Aerospace released the Learjet 45XR, which is an update of the company’s classic super-light jet, the Learjet 45. The Learjet 45 was flown for the first time on October 7, 1995 and entered the aviation market in January 1998. Thanks to its new Honeywell TFE731-20BR turbo engine setup, the XR version can take off carrying a heavier load. It also boasts a greater cruise speed and climbs quicker than the standard Learjet 45. According to Bombardier, the XR version is an “overachiever” that flies “faster, higher and farther with more passengers and range flexibility than any aircraft in its class.” The Learjet 45XR has a top speed of 535 mph, a range as much as 2,300 miles and can reach an altitude of 51,000 feet. What’s more, London Air Services say it can fly from London to Los Angeles in just two and a half hours. Additional features include 110-volt electrical plugs, foldable work desks and a “digital airborne telephone” that will ensure its up to nine passengers don’t miss a thing while they’re soaring through the clouds. here
First flown in 2008, the Phenom 300 is a “light business jet” produced by Brazilian company Embraer. The jet was introduced in 2009, and so far 117 craft have been built. Capable of carrying a maximum of nine people, the 52 foot 2 inch jet has a top speed of 518 mph, a range of 2,268 miles and can reach an altitude of 45,000 feet. Designed in conjunction with BMW Designworks USA, the roomy Phenom 300 also boasts the biggest luggage storage space and the biggest windows – including a restroom window – in its class.
Introduced on December 31, 2006, Eclipse Aviation’s Eclipse 500 helped pioneer the “very light jet” aviation class. Seating a maximum of six people (including one pilot), the 33 foot 1 inch jet can reach a top speed of 425 mph and has a range of 1,295 miles. Based on Williams International’s Williams V-Jet II, the design was refined and adapted by Eclipse Aviation. One sacrifice for its size is that it doesn’t have a lavatory – the cause of much debate when the plane was delivered. Following the liquidation of Eclipse Aviation in 2008, the company’s assets – including the Eclipse 500 – were transferred to new company Eclipse Aerospace. Despite the difficult start for the new class, 260 craft were produced between 2001 and 2008, and Eclipse Aerospace made it known that the follow-up model 550 would be ready for delivery in 2013.
The Honda Aircraft Company’s inaugural civil aircraft, the HA-420 HondaJet, first took to the skies on December 3, 2003. However, after numerous tests, and a delayed maiden flight in 2010, the impressive-looking jet is still frustratingly in the “early production” stage. In 2013 Honda made a statement saying that the aircraft was due for more tests and that its certification would be held back until 2014. The HA-420 HondaJet has enough space for a maximum of seven people (including crew), and the 42 foot 7 inch aircraft’s top speed is 483 mph (778 km/h), with its range a respectable 1,358 miles. Honda announced that the hotly anticipated plane will be shown off at the 2013 National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Convention & Exhibition, held in Las Vegas from October 22 to 24.
According to its manufacturers, the Beechcraft Premier IA is “the world’s largest, fastest, most advanced single-pilot business jet.” Work began on the Beechcraft Premier I in 1994, and it took to the air for the first time on December 22, 1998, before being introduced to the market in 2001. The Premier IA version – which is faster and features more state-of-the-art avionics equipment and a larger cabin – achieved Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification on September 22, 2005. Able to carry six to seven passengers, the Premier IA has a top speed of 526 mph and, when carrying five people, a range of 1,645 miles. It’s also more economical than its closest competitor, the Cessna Citation CJ2+, and features the life-saving Integrated Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 electronic system – which should help ensure a smooth flight.

In today’s world of international business, every second counts. One minute you may be needed in Tokyo; the next thing there could be a meeting in New York that simply cannot be missed. And when time is money, a savvy investment in the form of a business jet can certainly afford some extra time. The “light jet” class was pioneered by the Learjet 23, which was introduced in 1964. Now, the most recent development is the “very light” class, or “personal jet,” which costs less to run and requires less runway space. In the U.S. alone, very light jets have access to a network of over 5,000 smaller local airports. Read on for ten of the coolest small business jets out there.
The 5500’s Rolls Royce Pearl engines deliver a top speed of Mach 0.90. It has an optimized wing with a reprofiled trailing edge to deliver a smoother ride. here
“The aircraft combines intercontinental range, unmatched personal space and comfort for all passengers,” said Benoit Defforge, ACJ president, adding that it has “flexible interior catalogue” to accommodation customization of the cabin.
The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engine, which was certified last year, will set new benchmarks for enhancing efficiency and lowering emissions. The new engine also requires 40 percent less scheduled maintenance. The Falcon 6X will start its flight tests next year, with expected entry into service a year later.
O’Hara and his design team took about several years for this new interior, including subtle S-curves, in the seats, bulkheads, carpeting, along the ceiling and even in the artwork near the entry. The five “zones” were dressed in a planked walnut, with black ebony as the accent. The 21 x 28-inch oval windows provided exceptional views and natural light—or at least they would have in the real world. Even the LED lighting overhead had a curved architecture so that the bulbs remained hidden. O’Hara’s team also came up with 10 test modules for seats. [links]
The Learjet 75 Liberty, which entered service in November, is based on the Learjet 75 platform, but parent company has lowered the price to $9.9 million by taking out some features. Taking on competitors in the light-jet category with a midsized-jet cabin, the six-seat Liberty is the first in the category to offer an Executive Suite. The aft cabin features a four-seat club configuration.
