Very Light Jets

Hello,

Could someone help me with looking for any jets with take-off weight of under 2000 kg? I need it to my project.

I know Flaris LAR1 and Eclipse 400.

Diamond D-Jet, Sport Jet II and Epic Victory have too big max take-off weight.


Sorry for my bad English.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Jim Bede's little BD-5J.

Safire Jet is 6250 pounds, so too heavy, and its the next lightest I know of.

That seems an odd question to ask of a flight simulation community, but click here - List of very light jets.

For some reason I thought (s)he was asking about flight sim models. When I went back and reread the OP after I read your post, I'm not sure where I got that impression. :oops: Guess I just ran with the context.

Yes, maybe it was very seems question to ask of a flight simulation community.

But maybe there will be someone who knows more jets than FLARIS and ECLIPSE 400.

And I checked all the jets from this lists than I posted here.

I am looking for help on many pages.


My promoter of my project said my something about french very light jet, but I can't found any information about this jet.

The MS.760, maybe? Its pre-VLJ's, but it would fall into the category today. IT grosses out at closer to 4000 kg though, its nearly 2000 empty.

The MS Paris has just remembered me the other three planes powered by the small Turbomeca Marboré turbojets:

Potez-Fouga: Magister, Zephir (naval versión): Military trainers

Hispano Aviación HA200 Saeta military trainer (100 units licence built in Egypt as HA200 El Kahira), HA220 Super Saeta (Ground attack)

Cessna T37 (Continental got the licence to build Marborés).

I don't know if the Miles Sparrowjet would count. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Sparrowjet

Txs. Hagar. Reading the Sparrowjet I see the engines were Turbomeca Palas, here there is a list of very light planes powered by this very small turbojet:
