On the Javelin.
Flight testing and evaluation is in progress and will not be complete until later this year.
Unlike other VLJ manufacturers ATG have not issued definitive detailed statements on spec to date,until they have hard figures but anticipate the following.
Certification: FAA Part 23, Single Pilot, aerobatic. EASA about six months thereafter.
Usable fuel: 280 USG.
Fuel Flows: LRC 0.82 Mach 74 USGPH.
MAX 0.90 Mach 105 USGPH.
Which will give the range at 1,200nm at MTOW.
Balanced Field: 3,000ft+/-
landing: 1,800ft at average landing weight.
Vref: 110-114 kts.
Training: It will require a type rating (probably with FSI or similar), but to qualify you will need 1,500 total, 250 Jet/Twin/Turbine plus an IR.
Certainly not for everyone, but they never claimed it would be! Still exciting stuff!
