We knew it was coming, and now it's unveiled. That is one foxy plane!

Single engine and a parachute. I want one :-)~

It looks short coupled to me.
Notice the similarity to Global Hawk?
Seating for seven.
Guess what the range with seats full will be?
This one will be really interesting to see how the loading
configurations will vary.
300 kts max cruise... so a two hour leg will be considered normal.

Will it have a BRS?

Yes, according to the web site. Look at the fake tower transcript.

I agree - it is one sexy looking aircraft.

No. D-Jet's engine is buried in the lower aft fuselage.
Global Hawk and C-Jet engine are atop the fuselage between av-tail.

So, this is Cirrus' new "fork-tailed doctor killer"? Nice.

Cool plane. I think it looks like a cross between Piper Jet and the
the V-Jet that Williams was using as an engine test/proof platform
about 10 years ago.

It will be interesting to see how all of these VLJs do competing for
airspace and clearances to 20k+ feet on the typical 200-300nm journey.

If they stick to smaller airports and uncontrolled fields it shouldn't
be too bad (I hope)

I see what you mean. The cabin shape reminds me of the D-Jet, as does
the general concept.

First, it will be interesting to see if there will be " all of these".

It'll prolly need that chute.

They are only going to be $1M each. Maybe if I start saving my lunch
money...

NASA offered me $15,000 to take down my web site. Take a look and see why.

I LIKE IT!!!!! If I sell everything I have and live in "the-jet" I just
might be able to swing it....

It's nice. Looks like a cross between an F-117 and a Bonanza.

It looks to me like the thrust line from the engine would pitch the
nose down?

Probably to counteract the tail-heavy configuration. Not that pitching the
nose _up_ is desirable in any aircraft's configuration... can you name
some that do this?

The jet exhaust exits parallel to the airframe centerline.

Has anyone else noticed that of all the other jets mentioned in the press
stories, the proposed Piper is not mentioned?
