Cessna engineers have found a way to boost the speed of the Citation Ten, the follow-on to the Mach 0.92 Citation X, from Mach 0.92 to Mach 0.935. That beats the Gulfstream 650, once the fastest business jet in the world, which flew at Mach 0.925. The Ten is also 15 inches longer ...
The fastest jet in the world is NASA's X-43 experimental plane. Thanks to its scramjet design it was able to reach a speed of Mach 9.6, or 11,854 Km/h. Three of these planes were built in total. One was destroyed during testing in 2001, whilst the other two successfully flew for ...
It reached Mach 0.885 during testing but its top commercial cruise speed is Mach 0.881, allowing for fast city-to-city flights such as London to Tokyo and Washington to Dubai without the need for stop-overs.This spacious jet sleeps up to eight people and can accommodate 19, although typical...
Ok so it doesn't look like much, but this triple-engined business jet is astonishingly quick and can carry 16 people in luxury at speeds of over 1100km/h. This is thanks to a 3-engine design, with one engine mounted centrally in the tail of the plane. Triple-engine planes (or 'tri...
Like an airliner, a private jet’s speed is measured in Mach. Mach is the speed of an aircraft relative to the speed of sound. The Citation X+ (ten plus) is no longer manufactured as new (it was discontinued by manufacturer Cessna), but is still available in the charter market. ...
Bombardier has announced the manufacturing of major structural components for the first production Global 8000 business jet is now underway at its facilities in Saint-Laurent (Québec), Red Oak (Texas), and Querétaro (Mexico).
A Gulfstream G650, which with a top speed of Mach 0.925 is the world's fastest certified civilian jet, has added to its list of world records by completing the fastest westbound, around-the-world flight for a non-supersonic aircraft.
jet named “Global 8000” has just been introduced into the market by Bombardier, renowned for its luxurious cabin services and speed parameters. The most important thing to consider is that this will be the first-ever “business jet” to achieve asupersonic speedof Mach 1.015, along with ...
Ed Shadle created the North American Eagle in 1998 by converting a 1957 Lockheed F-104 Starfighter jet into a vehicle capable of breaking the sound barrier. His team has optimized the vehicle’s design to reach maximum speeds, with a record so far of 400 mph. With the next test run, the...
The jet – designed with 1960s analog technology – set a record that still stands today: 2,193 mph. That’s more than three times the speed of sound – literally faster than a speeding bullet. “It wasn’t supposed to be that big of a deal,” Joersz told CNN last year on t...
