Haven't heard much on the forum on this plane. Any input on likes, dislikes, problems? Just curious.

Nothing to hear. They have yet to deliver one.


Deliveries are supposed to start next month.

NJA has at least one in an experimental category that I've seen doing demos. Might find one of them on the frax board.

They seem to be a real performer from the things I've heard. It would help if they could deliver them.

Not with continuous limited baggage space..

Are you sure you are talking about the 4000?

Was in school with a couple of the Raytheon demo pilots...saw a number of pictures and learned quite a bit about the aircraft. Sounds like the numbers are pretty amazing, not to mention a gorgeous flight deck. One thing that really stood out was the checklist, from start to runway there are only two items for the pilots, the stick shaker and something else, the systems take care of all other checks. I like that.

Any idea what it will sell for?

At NBAA they said around 20.

If you want a performer with good baggage space the Sovereign is the one..

the 4000 is a way better performer than the Sovereign...

There is a 4000 in NJA colors but it is not a NJA airplane. It was suppose to be our first plane but it has yet to arrive and is flying around the country doing demos and being flown by HBC crews.

Flew it today. 12 minutes from takeoff to FL350 and .83M (with a level off that I blew right threw...)

You can't even compare this airplane to the Sovereign, it's in a whole different class.

How about 2 packs? 4 independent generators available up to FL350? Autothrottles? Outclimbs a Challenger 300? Walk through baggage? Turns around in less space than a Lear 45?

I was impressed. Hope the boss liked it as much as I did!
