The Sport Jet II cabin is made from advanced carbon fiber and incorporates an integral carbon fiber roll cage for maximum occupant protection. The wings and horizontal tail are made from aluminum. Unlike other light jets, the Sport Jet is designed to fly at the 20,000 – 25,000 altitude range, and does NOT require professional jet pilot training or advanced skills to fly. (Also see comparisons to other light jet aircraft at 600 mile and 800 mile trips).

Direct Operating Costs
Lets break down the real numbers:
Range: 1400 miles
Speed: 425 miles/hour
Fuel burn: 63 gals/hr
Fuel capacity: 220 gals
Engine Reserve $50/hr Airframe Reserve $25hr (Sport Jet supports these figures)
Assume JetA $5/gal
1400 miles/425 = ~3.3hrs X 63 gals/hr = ~208 gals @ $5/gal = $1038
$1038 + $265 (engine – airframe) = $1300 / 1400 miles = $ .93
For a single passenger (pilot only) = ~$1.00 mile
For four passengers = ~$ .25 per mile
* Note: Real numbers on the test aircraft demonstrated that on decent fuel burn is only ~20 gals/hr. This leaves ample reserve fuel for 3.5hr flight.
