Range 2,500nm
Speed Mach 0.83
Ceiling: FL490
All incredible numbers for a LIGHT JET, costing in the $7.5 mil range.
But there's more....
Sea level cabin at FL410 and only 1,800ft at FL490...........for a Delta p of 12psi.... YUP............eat your heart out G650 drivers....
It's not huge, 'bijoux' is appropriate............but it is comfortable.
4 pax in the rear, and seats can berth for 2 pax
5th pax on mid cabin belted lav.....and the lav has full closing hard doors, not curtains. As this is a LONG range light jet, crew thus has access to lav without disturbing pax.
AND............
Full single pilot certified. So can put 6th pax (often owner-pilot) on RH seat in cockpit.
All the usual gadgets and things are available standard or option:
Satcom
HF (needed for world travel)
dual FMS or coupled Garmin
Mode S with diversity
Airshow
Considering the aircraft type also holds the world record from Texas to London for under 20,000lb class (and that achieved with only one stop to refuel in Goose Bay). This done before the HF was installed and thus requiring a detour on the fastest route over the Atlantic, so on another occasion they should be able to shave 30 mins off this record.

This aircraft has a LOT to offer. Certainly on the traditional evaluation of business aircraft rationale.
ECO - Well fuel burns are frugal as well......in cruise you'll see 700-800lbs total / hour rates......typical around M0.8 so turbo-prop fuel burn at real jet speeds.
Uses nothing 'high-tech' to achieve these numbers either...so you don't become a technology guinea pig...
Williams engines, Honeywell avionics (OK the avionics could do with a re-refresh now, but still highly functional - Primus Epic based) an EFB can be offered. Essentially metal construction (very little composite) the traditional proven way. They also included full leading edge slats and fowler flaps to a 30degree sweep razor thin wing.......so fast speed as well as low approach speed handling is just fine. It's all just done well.
There you go.........
