A vision jet is not necessarily a toy. Plenty of companies using them instead of larger aircraft.

- _moof 5y agoCan't imagine why. The range on those things is pitiful. A TBM or a PC-12 seems like a much better choice if that's the class of aircraft you're buying.
- harambae 5y agoAre you comparing a jet to propeller aircraft? I'd imagine the jet flies higher, smoother and quieter, although I'm not rich enough to own one so I haven't looked into it too much.
- _moof 5y agoThose are pressurized turboprops. They're turbine-powered and have the same performance as the SF50, including service ceiling, but with more range. The SF50 is what we call a "near jet"—it's technically a jet, but its performance is turboprop performance. It's not at all the same class of airplane as what most people think of when you say "jet." It's what you buy when you want to say you fly a jet but you aren't multi-rated and can't afford a Falcon.
