Very cool. I love when unique planes come out. Tiny cabin comfortable for 2-4, fitted in a plane with good midsize range and performance, for a very accessible price. A lot of people will probably figure that they usually fly with less than 4 passengers and that they couldn't give up that range for that price.

It was looking like Dassault was going to be doing something similar at the higher end with their next plane ("Falcon SMS"), since we learned that they requested designs for 10,000lb thrust engines on a plane where they talked about the cabin being about the size of a G250 or Challenger 300. The G250 uses only 7,500lb engines. Even the large cabin Falcon 2000 series uses only 7,000lb engines and the Falcon 900 uses 3x5,000lb engines. But this interesting program seems to have been put on hold, and they seem to be reevaluating what exactly they're trying to sell with their next plane.

G250 cabin with true 10 hour range at for a huge discount compared to the G450 and Global 5000.
