SP n Jet

The main achievement of the SP n Utility Jet is the ability to manage small runways, which do not shine with smooth surface. The main prerequisites for success: a good wing, an energy-intensive, durable chassis, huge wheels with low-pressure pneumatics and powerful WilliamsFJ-443A turbofan engines with a thrust of 1200 kg, and as a result - the required runway length during takeoff with full weight - no more than 900 m and a climb rate of 22 m / s ... Most turboprop aircraft can only dream of such recklessness.

But the cruising speed of 480-500 km / h and the maximum - 750 km / h could be even higher with such engines, however, the creators of this aircraft created not only a large wing, but also rather thick, so that two tons of aviation kerosene could fit in the fuel compartments. As a result, the flight range is up to 3400 km (8 passengers - 3093 km), which makes it possible to fly from Munich to Cairo, Reykjavik or even Perm. No eight-seat jet aircraft can fly this far. GROB Aerospace also claims that the SP n Utility Jet has an unrivaled weight efficiency in its class - the ratio to take-off payload mass (one of the most common criteria for aircraft excellence). The composite design really gives such an advantage, thanks to this, relatively simple freaks with a cargo-passenger purpose and a shortened fit are obtained.

From all these composites, speeds and profiles, we can conclude: a very practical aircraft has been created - the world's first universal business jet, which meets both the picky taste of a business aviation operator and the needs of a "strong owner" who believes, not without reason, that the aircraft must to work out 7 million dollars, which were spent on its acquisition.
