Specification

Cruise is 527 ktas, Mach 0.935 — no civilian jet flies faster, and on the roughly 950-mile corridor that pace can trim the block time. Range is 3,242 nautical miles, so the route is nonstop with reserves. The ceiling is 51,000 feet, above most 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. Baggage is 82 cubic feet. The cross-section is tighter than the wide-body super-midsize jets — this airframe spends its margin on speed, not girth.
