They do still stop occasionally and while a V35 only has one, the difference is in the speed of the forced landing. probably twice what you can bring a V35 or C210 in at.
As far as I am aware there are no special rules for jet aircraft.
Here in the USA a single engine aircraft has to have a stalling speed of less than 61 kts. Therefore forced landing speed will not be any different for a single engine jet compared to other high performance singles, piston or turboprop.
Stalling speed can be higher than 61 kts but it requires greater crashworthiness in the cabin thus more weight.
FAR 23.49 is the reference if anyone wants it.


Why is it that people think that when you slap a jet engine on something it automatically loses it's gliding ability?
