I guess I don't really care if it's a jet or a turboprop. The point about the relationship between surface area and volume and drag is a good one. It'd be really cool if your VLJ was supersonic, in which case you win a lot for being really small, but there are other problems there that are even more serious.
On the topic of the specific plane in the article, I've seen the Avanti and its range still sucks wrt what I want.
Also, I wouldn't call X-Plane the inheriter... it's been around forever, too!
- joshwa 15y agoMore like inheritor of the MSFS developer community and userbase now that FSX is abandonware. Looks like you need a G-V or a Citation X. :)
- frisco 15y agoNeither the G-V nor C-X are rated for single-pilot operation... :(
- joshwa 15y agoNow there's the new G650: Mach 0.925. :) But fastest single-pilot-rated is the Hawker 200, which does 465kt, but only 1500nm range. (An F-15 can do 3000nm in ferry configuration... Or I wonder if you can contract with USAF to arrange in-flight refueling over Nebraska?)
