I attended the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) and checked out the latest luxury private jets on display.
Cirrus Vision Jet
The Cirrus Vision Jet is an odd-looking V tail airplane, with a single-engine mounted to the top of the fuselage. The listed price is $3 Million.
I was particularly interested in the Vision Jet, as it is a single pilot airplane with 1,275 nm range. Cruising at 305 KTAS and flying as high as 31,000 ft. The one on display at 2021 NBAA-BACE was the latest G2+ Vision Jet
HondaJet 2600
At the 2021 NBAA-BACE indoor exhibition, the Honda Aircraft Company unveiled the "HondaJet 2600 Concept”. Honda Jet is advancing into the mid-size long-range business aviation market, with a single pilot light jet.
The proposed HondaJet 2600 has a range of 2,625 nautical miles. It also features a high-speed cruise of 450 knots and a class-leading ceiling of 47,000 feet.
Dassault Falcon 10X
Dassault Aviation unveiled their all-new Falcon jet 10X this year. During the 2021 NBAA-BACE, a full-size mock-up was presented. The Falcon 10X has a range of over 7,500nm and can fly up to 51,000 ft.
Bombardier Global Express 7500
I visited VistaJet Bombardier Global Express 7500. The Global Express 7500 is the current flagship of Bombardier and a close rival to the Gulfstream G700. It has 7,700 nm range and is currently the largest and longest Bombardier Global Express out there.
I also visited a Boeing 737-700 BBJ at the show, with unique aircraft designer Warja Borges showing me the concept of the design and its luxury interior.
