Ultimate/Best Twin Biz Jet/VLJ and Turbo Prop based exclusively on STOL criteria?
Hi All,
Looking for the aeroplane both in the Twin Biz Jet and Twin Turbo prop class including VLJ's BUT excluding Fixed Gear a/c with the best STOL capabilities and criteria currently certified in the JAA world?
STOL is the sole concern; not seats; and with retractable gear.
Grateful for any pointers and sources of comparison (online).
Kind regards,
EG

Oh dear... 
If you want a STOL aircraft, then it's probably for operating in and out of demanding and challenging places, so you'll probably end up with something with fixed gear, like the Islander or TwOtter.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a twinjet or turboprop with decent field performance, then the load you plan to carry and how far you wish to carry it become the overriding factors.
In short, unless this is a spotter's query, you're asking the wrong question.
