Продолжая традицию Cirrus по созданию инновационной технологии из углеродного волокна, в результате появился. In the case of VeriJet and Set Jet, their founders believe they can skirt the ghosts of Day Jet, Pogo, JetSmarter, BlackJet, Zetta Jet, Avantair, JetSuite and others to find that elusive level of success that few achieve, mainly staying in business for an extended period. Мы подготовили ТОП-5 дешевых бизнес-джетов, ловите. 1. Сверхлегкий класс: Cirrus Vision Jet. Cirrus Vision — небольшой, но мощный джет, который наиболее доступный среди частных самолетов. Cirrus Vision — эдакий рекордсмен.  Любители джетов крупнее, чем Cirrus Vision Jet, могут посмотреть в сторону легкого частного самолета из семейства Citation. Cessna Citation CJ3+ был выпущен в серийное производство в году и стал модифицированной и доработанной версией CJ3. Отличается от доработанной для большего комфорта кабиной. Gossamer Albatross Designed by aeronautical engineer Paul MacCready, the Gossamer Albatross was a human-powered airplane that in made the first human-powered flight across the English Channel. Excellent STOL capabilities allow this reasonably large plsnes to get in and out of tight backcountry airstrips. As its use in that arena died down, it proved its worth and resilience in a variety of other uses, such as cargo and military transport, for years to come. Jet planes aitch 50 new was symbolized by sheet-metal construction, tricycle landing gear and modern, opposed engines. Douglas A2D Skyshark. McDonnell F Voodoo.

The Liberator participated in all combat theaters and was produced in greater number than any other American aircraft during World War II.

Renowned for its strength as a dogfighter, the lightweight, agile airplane was the first naval fighter that could outperform land aircraft.

The Zero would see prolific use throughout the war, as a total of approximately 11, of the fighters were produced through , the most by far of any Japanese airplane. With the capability to reach speeds up to mph and a range just shy of 2, miles, the aircraft gave the Japanese an early upper hand in combat, one that would subside later in the war with the introduction of more apt American fighters.

With six seats, weighing just 6, pounds but capable of 41, feet and knots, it seemed too good to be true.

Its development and promotion, headed by Vern Raburn, took many years, cost a billion dollars and left hundreds of would-be owners out hundreds of thousands of dollars apiece. After all was said and done, Eclipse went bankrupt, but the airplane survived. The new company has earned a production certificate for the Eclipse jet. It now does everything Raburn always said it would.

His initial foray would be known as the Columbia. Based loosely on the homebuilt Lancair ES, the Columbia launched a formula familiar today, a high-power hp , fixed-gear, sidestick-controlled, low-wing composite speedster with docile flying manners.

Columbia Aircraft suffered a series of setbacks — including a freak Oregon hailstorm — and eventually went out of business.

Cessna purchased the assets, relaunched production and eventually renamed the airplane the Corvalis. Today the Corvalis, with Garmin Jet Planes Aitch Program avionics and excellent creature comforts, is a premier personal transportation airplane.

Boeing With 20 percent greater fuel efficiency and 20 percent lower carbon emissions than those of its competitors, the Boeing Dreamliner is one of the greatest technological advancements to land on the airline scene in decades. Luscombe Silvaire Initially produced in the late s, the Luscombe Model 8 made its mark on the light aircraft scene with an all-metal monocoque design, the first construction of its kind to thrive on a large scale.

The original Model 8 was equipped with a rag wing and a Continental A flat-four engine, but later, more prolific versions of the aircraft traded in the fabric for aluminum and the A for more powerful engines, like the A and the C With its slick, rivet-free fuselage, the DA40 easily outruns and outclimbs a new Cessna , despite having the same fuel-efficient, four-cylinder engine.

Its long wings give it an impressive glide ratio though the trade-off of low wing loading is a rougher ride in turbulence and the seats are designed to withstand a 26 G impact.

An exceptional safety record, good manners in flight, and visibility from the cockpit greenhouse that rivals the scene on an Imax movie screen. Introduced in , the PT6-powered PC has been a solid seller for Pilatus thanks to its remarkable versatility, rough-field-ready gear, midsize jet-class cabin, huge side-loading utility door, highly reconfigurable cabin, unreal short-field capabilities and the economies of a single with the payload of some turboprop twins.

Despite all the advances, the PC is still an airplane that yearns for adventure. Hawker Beechcraft Premier I When first certified, the Hawker Beechcraft Premier was the only composite fuselage bizjet and the world's fastest single-piloted business jet, combining speeds of 0. Powered by FJ44 engines of 2, pounds thrust, it can accommodate six passengers and two pilots with a range of 1, nm.

Included in the luxurious cabin is a galley and an aft lavatory with a privacy door. The Premier has already established a number of world speed records, breaking existing records by as much as mph. It has appeared at the Reno Air Races, flying the racecourse in one of its more notable appearances.

Lockheed SR Blackbird Kelly Johnson's SR was conceived during the s as a stealthy reconnaissance ship that would fly too high and fast for enemy missiles to reach. Though limited to about 2, knots by aerodynamic heating, the SR's speed has never been surpassed by any manned jet.

Its fuselage chines, conceived as stealth aids, became an important aerodynamic feature of many later aircraft. Lightly built of titanium and stainless steel, the Blackbird was leaky, not very maneuverable, and given to cantankerous engine behavior, but it remains possibly the most fantastic-looking — and to many eyes the most beautiful — airplane ever to fly. Hawker Siddeley When the first Hawker Siddeley prototype took flight in , the aircraft became arguably the first official production business jet to take to the skies.

Initially powered by twin 3,pound thrust Viper turbojet engines, the revolutionary aircraft was slightly slower than its competitors, but more than made up for it in cabin comfort and economy. Those attributes helped lay the foundation for one of the most top-selling bizjet lines in history.

Top Airplanes Powered by a 25 hp Anzani engine spinning a wooden propeller, the airplane carried Bleriot across the English Channel in a little more than 36 minutes on July 25, , becoming the first airplane to complete the crossing. The popularity of the airplane, gleaned from the historic flight, inspired Bleriot to mass-produce it. Piper Aztec An outgrowth of the lower-powered and much maligned Piper Apache which was actually inspired by a Stinson design , the Piper Aztec, introduced in , was an immediate hit with pilots looking for a tough and capable twin that flew great.

But it could carry a great load and operate out of rough strips. With fuel-injected and later and, later, turbocharged models, the six-place Aztec was in production for a quarter of a century with nearly 8, examples produced over that time. The Aztec has enabled Sandy and me to visit many wonderful places not available to the airlines or faster aircraft. The best times were in the Caribbean, island hopping and making reservations on Montserrat was the island of choice until the volcano blew.

It's easy to fly, carries a lot of weight and still goes miles an hour. Voyager Great aviators don't care that their dream project appears impossible. And though a round-the-world flight on one tank of gas appears unimaginable, Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager made it happen in The airplane that made the concept a reality was the Voyager — a minimalistic but aerodynamically efficient carbon fiber airframe designed by Dick's brother, engineering legend Burt Rutan.

The Voyager carried 7, After a little more than nine days, Rutan and Yeager completed their historic mission and landed the Voyager safely back at Edwards.

Dassault Falcon 7X The Dassault Falcon 7X holds many notable distinctions, two of the most important being its status as the first fully fly-by-wire business jet and as the first to be designed entirely on the Catia virtual platform. More than have been built to date. The single-turboprop, pressurized speedster featured a compact-but-luxurious cabin for four and boasted speeds of around knots with a range exceeding 1, nm.

Over the years the airplane has gotten nothing but better, with true airspeeds of better than knots on its higher-horsepower Pratt engine, additional gross weight, flat-panel avionics and updated interior. More than TBMs have been delivered. Taylorcraft Built in the s as a platform for spreading aviation to the masses, the Taylorcraft emerged as a safe, light flier capable of outpacing the Cub and the Champ.

Lockheed Martin F Raptor Since the F emerged in , this fifth-generation fighter has combined cutting-edge stealth technology with supersonic cruise capability and superb air combat maneuverability unmatched by any fighter in the world. Powered by 35, pounds of thrust per engine, the single-pilot aircraft is able to reach speeds beyond Mach 2.

But versatility is probably the word that describes the Caravan best. The airplane can be equipped with a cargo pod and multiple types of landing gear, including bush tires, amphibs and skis. Excellent STOL capabilities allow this reasonably large airplane to get in and out of tight backcountry airstrips.

Airbus A A pioneer of fly-by-wire flight controls and sidesticks, the Airbus A family, when it was introduced into service in , represented an enormous technological leap for a company that was then still a distant competitor to Boeing. Fast-forward to today, and the airplane has earned a spot as one of the best-selling airliners of all time, with production numbers approaching the 5, mark.

Design of the A actually began much earlier, in , and was envisioned as a modern design that would outperform the Boeing Decathlon The tailwheel Decathlon is a study in perseverance.

The airplane traces its roots back to the Aeronca Champ, by way of the aerobatic-minded American Champion Citabria. In fact, American Champion developed the Decathlon as a better Citabria. The airplane entered production in , but the company was immediately sold to Bellanca. Bellanca built the airplane and the follow-on Super Decathlon until it went belly up in The Decathlon design passed through the hands of several companies until in it ended up in the hands of a new company: American Champion Aircraft Corp.

The Super Decathlon and other models are being produced to this day at the American Champion factory in Rochester, Wisconsin. Beechcraft Starship The brainchild of legendary aircraft designer Burt Rutan, the Beechcraft Starship was a radical departure from conventional designs, starting fresh with many untried concepts. That project culminated with the flight of the first production Starship in Despite excellent performance, in the end, only 53 Starships were built.

In , Beech began buying back Starships and cutting them up. Only five privately owned Starships remain today. Robinson R22 After working for several helicopter manufacturers, including Cessna yes, Cessna did sell a helicopter — the Skyhook , Bell and Hughes, Frank Robinson saw an opportunity to launch his own light design.

Thirty-two years after the R22 was introduced, more than 10, Robinson helicopters have been delivered out of the ever-expanding factory in Torrance, California. F An engineering marvel, the F Fighting Falcon can fly at Mach 2 speeds above 50, feet while being able to withstand 9 Gs.

The fly-by-wire control system is activated by a sidestick and enables F pilots to turn the airplane on a dime.

Its capabilities as an air-to-air fighter as well as an air-to-surface attack platform have made it a favorite among Air Force squadrons worldwide. Since its first introduction in , Lockheed Martin has delivered thousands of F16s of various models.

Regardless of the configuration, the loud roar of the single F engine emanates fear in the enemy and excitement in airshow spectators. Gossamer Albatross Designed by aeronautical engineer Paul MacCready, the Gossamer Albatross was a human-powered airplane that in made the first human-powered flight across the English Channel.

Piloted by cyclist Bryan Allen, the Albatross made the trip in two hours and 49 minutes, winning the Kremer Prize. Two years earlier, MacCready won a prize for the first human-powered aircraft, the Gossamer Condor.

The Albatross was even more ambitious. Gulfstream 1 Designed in the mids, the Gulfstream 1 was the first twin turboprop designed specifically for corporate travel. The aircraft had a range of 2, miles, room for 12 passengers and maxed out at a speed of mph at 25, feet. A product of Grumman Aircraft Engineering Co. Loved by crew and passengers alike, the Gulfstream 1 enjoyed success that ushered in a new era of business travel and set the groundwork for one of the most successful lines of business jets in aviation history.

The Lightning was a complete breakaway from conventional designs, yet its odd looks yielded the power of two engines and, at long last, the ability to carry heavy armament. Vari-Eze The tsunami of orders for Jim Bede's BD-5 inspired a then-unknown Burt Rutan to design his own mass-market homebuilt with sexy looks, great performance, a cheap engine and two seats rather than one. Neither the swept-wing canard configuration, nor the fiberglass-over-foam construction, nor the use of slightly converted Volkswagen engines was unprecedented.

But when Rutan put it together and it did knots, the world took notice. The VariEze and its larger successor, the Long-EZ, were built in the thousands and hold many records. More important, they made Burt Rutan, the most innovative designer of his time, a household name.

Bombardier Challenger Originally produced by Canadair in the late s, the Bombardier Challenger introduced a number of cutting-edge innovations into the world of corporate air travel.

In addition to its wide and roomy cabin, which brought spaciousness to a bizjet like never before, the aircraft was also one of the earliest to employ the low-drag supercritical wing. With a deadly prototype crash and initial weight limitations, the Bombardier Challenger got off to a rocky start, but persevered to emerge as the bedrock of one of the most thriving lines of corporate jets in aviation history. Extra The brainchild of modern composite guru Walter Extra, the Extra burst onto the scene in the early s as the ultimate competitive aerobat.

It was a huge force in aerobatic competition, pushing the state of the art to new heights. BAE Harrier As the first successful strike fighter able to perform vertical landings, the BAE Harrier jet built upon the successes of its first generation predecessor and brought a slew of revolutionary capabilities to the forefront of Western air defense. The aircraft was a product of both American and British innovation and, like earlier Harrier jets, relied on thrust vectoring technology for its wide range of vertical and horizontal maneuverability.

With that maneuverability, a more powerful engine, an airframe composed substantially of composites and more payload capacity, the BAE Harrier emerged as a multidimensional and very capable strike fighter.

Hindenburg At just 78 feet shorter than the Titanic , the Hindenburg remains the largest aircraft ever to take to the air more than seven decades after its maiden flight in Built on the success of its predecessor, the Graf Zeppelin, the Hindenburg was equipped to hold more than 7 million cubic feet of hydrogen and could produce While the Hindenburg was originally designed to use helium, the United States refused to yield its monopoly on the substance to Nazi Germany, resulting in a recrafting of the zeppelin for hydrogen.

The aircraft carried more than 2, passengers across the Atlantic before it burst into flames while landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey, in , killing 36 people and attracting enough press attention to end the burgeoning era of passenger airship travel. With several variants offering seating capacities between 40 and passengers, the CRJ line quickly became a favorite among regional airlines around the world after its introduction in The twin-engine jet design enabled not only quick and economical short hops, but also cost-efficient midrange flights previously serviced only by heavier aircraft, such as the Boeing , often flying with many empty seats.

In addition to increasing load factors, the CRJs helped the airlines increase their route offerings significantly. More than 1, CRJs have been delivered to date. Bell X-1 Jet Planes Aitch Time The Bell X-1 holds a place in aviation history as the first airplane to fly faster than the speed of sound in controlled level flight.

The X-1 was also the first airplane in the X series of super-secret U. On Oct. Charles "Chuck" Yeager broke the speed of sound in the rocket-powered Bell X-1 christened Glamorous Glennis , after his wife.

The milestone earned the X-1 program the Collier Trophy and made its young test pilot a household name. Cessna When Cessna released the Skywagon back in , the company hit the sweet spot of payload, capacity, speed, economy and backcountry fun. Decades after going out of production, the Cessna is still hailed by bush pilots in Alaska and elsewhere as one of their most popular workhorses.

Whether on skis, floats or wheels, the can get you, your friends and your gear in and out of most remote places. And its reliability is likely to get you out as well, as long as you know how to wrestle a tailwheel airplane with a hp Continental up front.

Beech Baron Beechcraft hit the jackpot in the early s with the Baron, a sleek swept-tail personal twin derived from the somewhat clunky looking Travel Air and straight-tail Debonair single. It was fast, easy to fly, comfortable and could haul a decent load. In the day of cheap avgas and twin-engine prestige, the Baron was king. With its Fadec-controlled Rolls-Royce AEC1 engines, which are about the size of some single-engine airplane fuselages and each produce 6, pounds of thrust at sea level, the airplane can cruise near the speed of sound at Mach 0.

I recommended to my friends at Cessna a few requirements that I wanted to see in a corporate jet prior to the Citation X. My main points were that it should have these key attributes: speed, range and a large cabin size. I had the honor of taking delivery of the first production Citation X in August , and am delighted to say that it has been everything I envisioned.

Fifteen-plus years later, we are still flying a Citation X I traded in for a new one in and I could not be more pleased.

It is reliable and still the fastest bird out there, looks great, and deserves to be ranked among the greatest airplanes of all time. Piaggio P. Learjet dropped out of the program in early , but Piaggio forged ahead, flying the prototype nine months later. Although U. In , a group of investors led by Piero Ferrari became involved. By then the Avanti had proved its capabilities, and sales soon followed.

In the improved Avanti II earned its certification and, with its updated PT6s and modern Rockwell Collins avionics, was an immediate hit.

Piaggio has produced more than , and sales have stayed strong. Lockheed U-2 Designed and developed in secrecy in the s, this high-flying reconnaissance aircraft was not revealed to the public until one was shot down over Soviet territory in Those same characteristics, however, made the U-2 notoriously difficult to fly, with minimal room for error between the max and stall speeds as well as landing characteristics that required the assistance of a chase car to help guide the aircraft to the ground.

As big as the Beaver is, with room for up to seven passengers, it requires only light control input and the three engine control levers in the center of the glareshield give the airplane a unique look and feel. Mine's on gear, a great backcountry airplane. Prime, wobble-pump, start … a puff of smoke and the rumble of that make you feel you've woken a dragon. In the air she's balanced, light on the controls.

Trimmed up, you can fly with two fingers. Right hand up on the throttle, prop and mix. Feel how the thumb advances the engine and the index finger hooks over the prop lever to bring it back — perfect.

Pump down the flaps, slow up and put her just about anywhere. A pilot's dream. The twinjet hits a sweet spot among private buyers and air-taxi firms seeking a lower-priced business jet with a usable cabin size up to six passengers and reasonably fast speed knots with decent range 1, nm while doing it with an airline quality build.

In addition to its remarkable entry-level performance, the Phenom features large flat-panel avionics, fadec turbofans and operating economies that rival some turboprop twins. Cessna First delivered in , the stately five-place, all-metal Cessna radial-engine taildragger was new in some ways but outdated in others — its big radial engine and conventional gear were s technology.

It was a relaxing airplane to fly, but with its heavy radial engine, it was a thrilling one to land in a crosswind. Some models featured a crosswind gear, which would allow the airplane to be pointed in one direction and the gear in another.

In the end, the could never compete with the truly modern Beech Bonanza with tricycle gear and an opposed engine and Cessna ended production of the in Most people identify with the art deco styling of this plane, built between and The graceful cantilever wing, large roomy fuselage, radial engine and piano key switches are just some of the details that set this incredible machine apart from the rest. The was the evolution of the original Cessna Airmaster and became known as the "Businessliner" thanks to its wonderful performance.

The useful load, low fuel consumption, great handling characteristics and relatively high cruising speed set it apart in its day. Today it is still a very reliable, sought after classic. Just listen to one start up on the ramp and you will understand!

Falcon 50 This is the airplane that started the Dassault tradition of three-engine business jets. Introduced in the s, the Falcon 50 was an immediate hit with pilots and buyers alike, offering a winning combination of excellent range, great runway performance, a spacious cabin and an attractive form.

The three-engine configuration gave the model better hot-and-high performance and presented pilots with more options when flying long oceanic routes. Dassault produced the model for more than 20 years, replacing the original with the Falcon 50EX, which boasted more powerful engines and upgraded avionics.

Successors to the prototypical three-engine Falcon 50 configuration are the equally popular Falcon and 7X models. Initially flown by Pan Am in , the held the top spot in terms of passenger capacity for nearly 40 years, with later models capable of carrying up to people on a given flight.

Staggerwing Beechcraft With a look at once arresting, sleek and classic, the Beechcraft Staggerwing endures today as one of the most aesthetically pleasing aircraft of all time.

Designed amid the Great Depression and considered a risky venture by some, the Staggerwing went on to become the premier aircraft for the elite, a celebrated air racer and versatile warbird. The airplane, each model handcrafted to perfection, would also set the standard for one of the most successful manufacturers in GA history. Today the V is in full-rate production and is serving admirably as a replacement for the Sea Knight helicopter troop transport.

Piper Arrow First introduced in , the Piper Arrow emerged Jet Planes Aitch Uk as a great training platform for pilots looking to get their feet wet in a complex single-engine aircraft.

While not as fast as some of its contemporaries, the Arrow provided the familiarity and forgiving nature of the Piper line with a level of affordability within reach of more pilots. Equipped with a hp Lycoming engine, a range of nm and a fuel capacity of 72 gallons, the four-seat Arrow remains in limited production today and endures as a great airplane for advanced student pilots and cross-country travelers alike.

Supermarine Spitfire Proudly remembered as the aircraft that helped save the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain, the Supermarine Spitfire has gained iconic status as one of the most famous fighters of all time. First introduced in , the Spitfire was continually improved and upgraded throughout the war. The fighter would go on to become the most-produced British aircraft of World War II and would eventually serve the country and its Allies in numbers greater than 20, Lockheed Constellation The legendary Connie has to be one of the prettiest airplanes ever conceived.

With its sinuously curving fuselage, triple tail and tapered wing, it is instantly recognizable. In , TWA and Hughes asked Lockheed for a passenger transcontinental airliner with a top speed of more than mph, and the designers delivered. Lockheed built more than , with the Connie and later the Super Connie ruling the skies until the introduction of turbojet airliners in the s.

Cessna Cardinal The Cessna Cardinal was actually intended as a replacement to the Skyhawk, but that never happened. Still, the Cardinal, with its great visibility, cantilever wing and easy-entry doors, did take an important place in the Cessna pantheon not only as arguably the most beautiful Cessna ever but as a solid and reliable mid-performance personal and family airplane as well.

Early on it got better handling, more power, better speed and a constant-speed prop. Between and , more than 1, Cardinals were delivered. Aeronca Champ With its maiden flight in , the Aeronca Champ emerged as an attractive training alternative in a world dominated by the Piper Cub. Complete with a wider cabin, the ability to solo in the front seat and user-friendly controls, the tandem trainer offered a roomy alternative to the Piper Cub, one that had the upper hand not only when it came to visibility, but also, many of its proponents will argue, in human engineering.

Concorde Probably the most ambitious civil aviation project ever, Concorde gave space age dreamers a Mach 2, 60,foot ceiling, delta-wing jetliner that somehow overcame the economic and environmental realities of building and operating supersonic transports to enjoy a year flying career. The "Vega-M" can track up to targets simultaneously within kilometres mi. Large targets, like surface ships, can be tracked at a distance of kilometres mi.

Development work on a modernized version, the AU, began in ; state tests started on 10 September , using a Russian Air Force A "37 Krasnyy" as a prototype. It replaces analog avionics with a new digital avionics suite, made by Vega Radio Engineering Corporation , that speeds data processing and improves signal tracking and target detection.

Crew rest, toilet and galley facilities are also included in the upgrade. The fifth AU, "45 Krasnyy", was delivered on 6 December Its configuration will be similar, but with a new Vega Premier active electronically scanned array radar.
