These maximum range examples are based on typical cruise speed assuming ISA conditions, 85% statistical annual winds, and standard fuel reserves. The intent is comparison purposes only; not for actual flight planning. Actual performance is subject to day of flight conditions.
Whether or not it has retained that title more than twenty years later, the Beechcraft Premier IA is an improved version of the original model. It features top-flight avionics equipment as well as a roomier cabin design and achieved FAA certification in 2005. here
Not every private jet owner wants something as massive as a Boeing 747 or Airbus. A smaller, sleeker private jet can be a great way of creating a more intimate, luxuriant, and ultimately relaxing flying experience.
Industries have seen trends towards smaller, sleeker styles before. Anyone old enough to remember how cellphones were before the iPhone and especially even further back before flip phones knows what big, bulky, and utterly inconvenient monstrosities they could be. The same holds true for older portable gaming systems.
Stratos Aircraft has also announced plans to make the aircraft’s interior roomier by adding 31 inches to the fuselage area. It may also see its name change before it enters wide circulation. Stratos Aircraft currently lacks the funding to have it fully certified. more

With JSX, you'll bypass the traditional airport altogether and travel through a private jet terminal. You also won't encounter crowds and TSA lines, but can still feel secure since JSX uses TSA Secure Flight, the same TSA-provided background-check processes that major airlines use.
Cons: Aero serves limited locations in the U.S. and Europe for now. It's also a brand new service which, while exciting for some travelers, may make others nervous.
I'm a travel writer, but it's not always as glamorous as it sounds. When I fly, I often book commercial in coach for the best price to get my family of four where we need to go.

Quite possibly the best definition of a light jet on our list, the Cirrus Vision is the only certified single-engine jet available for sale to the public. An evolution on the best selling Cirrus SR22 piston airplane, the Vision is popular among current Cirrus customers who are looking to step up to jets. Much like its little brother, the SF50 has a simple single-lever throttle with computer engine management and even a whole airframe parachute.
