Specification
Range is 3,125 nautical miles, far beyond the 950-mile route, so the trip is nonstop with very large reserves. Cruise is 466 ktas, Mach 0.83 — among the fastest midsize jets. The ceiling is 45,000 feet, and fly-by-wire flight controls give a smooth, precise ride. Power is two Honeywell HTF7500E engines.
Cabin
The cabin is 26 feet 10 inches long — one of the longest in the class — 6 feet 10 inches wide, and a full 6 feet tall over a flat floor, with an enclosed lavatory. The length and width together give a true walk-around feel. Eight to nine passengers travel with a large 155 cubic feet of baggage; up to twelve occupants are certified.
