Fastest Business Airplane

[GEXDriver]

And, so you don't have to get out the Almanac, the winds in March are about half the winds in Nov. You guys are funny. It drives you crazy that a little tin Cessna product cruises faster than the mighty, super clean, aerodynamically superior-to-every-man-made-object-that-will-ever-be-built Gulfstream.

You need to think before you type. The lower the winds, the more it benefits the Citation X on a Westbound trip. The X can't run the 2135 nm from Teterboro to Van Nuys at Mach 0.92 against typical Westerly winds at any time of the year, but the lower the winds, the faster it can cruise on that trip. The G550 can run nearly 5,000 nm at .88 Mach so wind speeds don't really matter to the G.

But they haven't gotten it above something like 250 kts yet...

And again, what kind of true Business Plane is limited to carrying one passenger (per design)?

What does 250 kts have to do with the landing gear? If the business only needs to transport one or two people, they can use this as their business plane. You all are just jealous that this thing will do .98 and pass your slow GV's!

Yawn... We'll wave as your stop for fuel... As we are eating our filet mignon and getting up to use one of the 2 lavs on board...

and then we'll wave back to you as we climb past you doing 12,000 ft per min and pass you doing rolls, loops and lots of other fun things you cant do in your GV

So how much actual flight time do you have in the Javelin???

work 8 days a month and a salary of $300,000 a year. QOL isn't too bad, 2 on 6 off but the 2 days I work I have to be available within 5 hrs of notification so that kind of sucks. other than that can't really complain.

The Javelin while cute and probably a riot to fly is more of a toy than a business jet. Heck, why not just contact Thornton Aircraft and buy a T-38 or an F-5, both are available: http://www.thorntonaircraft.com/body/body.cfm?page_name=mil

Or you could get in touch with the russians, sure they would sell you a Mig-29 or a SU-27, you could even slum it and get a nice Mig 25 or a 21.

All of those are faster, although still limited to Mach.99 over land.

The Javelin may indeed sell in a few numbers, but seriously doubt it will even sell more than a CJ-1.

Just my 2 cents.
