Cirrus Design is developing "The Jet" (Vision SJ50), a single-engine personal jet priced at approximately $1.3 million. Designed to operate with the simplicity of a minivan, the aircraft features a distinctive V-tail and a seven-person capacity. This new category of Very Light Jets (VLJ) aims to revolutionize general aviation by offering jet performance at a price point comparable to high-end turboprops.
The emergence of Very Light Jets (VLJs) is fueling a new air taxi industry across the United States, utilizing smaller, more efficient turbine engines. Companies like Williams International are providing the specialized fanjet engines required for these small aircraft. Other major players, including Honda, are also entering the market with their own light jet designs to compete in the corporate and personal travel sectors.
