Don't forget low speed handling and stall characteristics.
There are so many places where the practically of this aircraft would fall down. Good luck fitting deicing boots to a wing which needs to be kept so clean polishing it makes a difference.
Also, good luck trying to get an clearence to climb to 60,000ft around any busy international airspace. Regardless of any aerodynamics miracles this aircraft pulls off I'm sure we agree that it's climb performance will be distinctly average. That means it's going to take well over an hour to get up there. 20 mins or more could be spent in the RVSM band (FL280+) where most of the airliners are, expect to be vectored all over the sky while this happens. This is already a problem in something like the CJ2 which like to cruise higher than the airliners but aren't quite as fast. It's climb performance is considerably better than you would expect from this aircraft.
