????That thing is ugly as sin.......... I still can't wrap my head around a single engine jet. It's not a jet unless it has 2 engines!!!
And that has the potential to be 400 smoking holes in the ground.
Anyone else feel that if it has the capability of flying in the flight levels, there should be some type-specific training?
Maybe change the criteria for a type-rating to include turbine-engined aircraft with advanced avionics, complex systems and ability to mix it up with us?

From the tiny BD 5J to the massive F105, there has been a lot of single engine jets.
The single engine VLJ should have similar glide characteristics to some single engine HP pistons and with FADEC should be easier to handle. Just remember that these things have got to spool...
:yup:"N12345, traffic 12 o'clock and 5 miles a Cirrus jet descending from FL250 under canopy."
"dubbed the V-1"
Didn't the Germans build a single engine jet dubbed the V1 sometime ago?
My problem with these airplanes is that they arent going to be operated by professional pilots but rather amatures.
