Still a fantastic futuristic aircraft

That wing looks impossibly small for flight. The fuselage may contribute sum lift, but still.......

I'm not sure about it ....nice screens however.

It was never really a popular corporate aircraft choice. It just “didn’t look right”, as well well as being unpopular with local residents as it was very noisy and with a distinctive sound.

That sounds very much like what a Beech salesman would be telling a prospective buyer!

Fact is, with the same engine as a King Air, this Ferrari of the skies is 100 knots faster, and flies to 41,000 ft vs 36.
All while maintaining a 5,000 ft cabin atmosphere.
It is a corporate jet in drag.

And this model is growing on me



Beautifully detailed where it counts (Feet) and a comprehensive cockpit.
I am spending time learning this aircraft, if the FMS will let me.



And there are these little interior diversions like lunch, and a working toilet, that make the experience so much more real on the 4 hour flight legs

I have this one in my FSX
