Jet Aircraft For Fractional Ownership

About Jet Aircraft

Piston, turboprop, and jet aircraft each offer their own benefits, whether it’s price, speed, ease of operation, range, cabin space, interior configuration options, or built-in luxuries. Jet aircraft, though, offer the highest levels of power, performance, and avionics, not to mention comfort, amenities, internet and communication infrastructure, flight-related technologies, and other components and features.

Gulfstream G650ER Jet Aircraft

Characteristics

Although prices for new or used jet aircraft can run into the tens of millions depending on their year, make, model, condition, flight deck equipment, and other factors, these fixed-wing aircraft with their gas-turbine engines combine cruise speeds that can surpass Mach 0.80 with extended flight ranges that allow carrying multiple passengers nonstop for four or more hours at higher altitudes. These capabilities make jets very handy for carrying out short- and long-haul private and business trips, medical missions, surveillance, research, cargo transport, and other operations. Leading brands in the new and pre-owned jet market include Beechcraft, Boeing, Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault Aviation, Embraer, Gulfstream, and Learjet.

Jet History

Royal Air Force officer Sir Frank Whittle and Germany’s Hans von Ohain are credited with developing the concept for the first jet engine. Whittle started work on his concept in the late 1920s at just 21 years old and patented it in 1930. Meanwhile, von Ohain designed the world’s first operational jet engine, a turbojet that eventually powered the Heinkel He 178 prototype jet aircraft in 1939.

Business Jets Today

Jet aircraft such as the Embraer Phenom 300E, Cessna Citation Latitude, Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Aviation Falcon 900, and Gulfstream G650 are generally organized into very light, light, super light, midsized, super midsized, large or heavy, ultra-long range, and executive liner or bizliner classes. The latter category features expensive, spacious commercial aircraft converted for business or private travel with multiple living and work areas, private bedrooms, full showers, full galleys, and more.

Business jets in general have experienced increasing popularity in recent decades, thanks to their ability to quickly transport four or more passengers across 5,000 kilometres (2,700 nautical miles) or more in pressurized cabins providing high-speed internet connectivity, HDTV displays, communication systems, mobile device control over various in-cabin functions, and more.
