We talked about this here back when the Yawner got his "record." It's not
for the *lightest* jet, it's for the *smallest* jet. IIRC, the CriCri was
lighter, but was a little bigger in wingspan or length.
Of course, and airplane doesn't have to actually fly to be an airplane.
I'm told there's a broom and a carpet on the FAA registry.
The Cri-Cri is about 10 inches longer.
The Cri-Cri weighs half as much.
The Cri-Cri's wingspan is shorter by about a foot. (16' vs. 17')
The Cri-Cri (jet) flies, has flown, will fly, did fly...
