Specification
Maximum operating speed is 527 ktas, Mach 0.935 — no civilian business jet flies faster. Range is 3,242 nautical miles, so the roughly 950-mile route is nonstop with reserves. The ceiling is 51,000 feet, above much of the weather and traffic. Power is two Rolls-Royce AE3007C2 engines.
Cabin
The cabin is 5 feet 8 inches high, 5 feet 7 inches wide, and 25 feet 2 inches long. Eight seats are standard, nine at maximum. Luggage is 82 cubic feet. The cross-section is tighter than that of the wide-cabin super-midsize jets — this airframe spends its margin on speed, not width.
