More of a brainstorming excercise than serious intent, but then again....who knows. The brief was for a personal, owner flown jet, 1 person, maybe two. Other contenders could be the SJ30-2, heaps of range 2500 nm, 450 kts and FL490 max alt capability. Possibly the Phenom 300 from Embraer, looks beaut but maybe a little short on range.
Now if winglets transformed the 737 next gen, and seems to be the rage these days, how difficult would it be to design a set for the CJ3, coupled with an extra 700 lbs of fuel in the baggage area to bring it up to max TOW. 2 up with max standard fuel you still have 700lbs below max weight. Something along the lines of a Sierra Eagle CJ3.
Yes, why would you go to all that bother when one could merely book a first class seat on the Rat, but life is about what is good and fun, not what makes sense. How else would you explain snow skiing.
Ok, dumb question time....what is Mn? can you elaborate more on that paragraph, not sure i follow what you're saying.
Edited numerous times cause I really suck at spelling.
