Background
Almost all production business jets, such as General Dynamics' Gulfstream and the Gates Lear Jet (now built by Bombardier), have had two or three engines, though the Jetstar, an early business jet, had four. General Dynamics Corporation ( is a defense conglomerate formed by Mergers and Divestitures and as of 2008 it is the fifth largest Defense contractor Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation is a producer of several models of jet Aircraft. Learjet is a manufacturer of Business jets for civilian and military use Bombardier Inc (bɔ̃baʁdje is a Canadian conglomerate, founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier as L'Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée in 1942 An engine is a mechanical device that produces some form of output from a given input Advances in engine reliability and power have rendered four-engine designs obsolete, and only Dassault Aviation still builds three-engine models (in the Falcon line). Dassault Aviation is a French aircraft manufacturer of military, regional and business jets, a subsidiary of The emerging market for so-called "very light jets" and "personal jets", has seen the introduction (at least on paper) of several single-engine designs as well. see also List of very light jets A very light jet ( VLJ) previously known as a microjet, is by convention a small Jet aircraft
Airliners are sometimes converted into luxury business jets. An airliner is a large Fixed-wing aircraft with the primary function of transporting paying passengers Such converted aircraft are often used by celebrities with a large entourage or press corps, or by sports teams, but airliners often face operational restrictions based on runway length or local noise restrictions.
A focus of development is at the low end of the market with small models, many far cheaper than existing business jets. Many of these fall into the very light jet (VLJ) category and are used by the air taxi industry. An air taxi is a for-hire passenger or cargo aircraft which operates on an on-demand basis Cessna has developed the Mustang, a six-place twinjet (2 crew + 4 passengers) available for $2. The Cessna Aircraft Company is an airplane manufacturing corporation headquartered in Wichita, Kansas. 55 million USD. A number of smaller manufacturers have planned even cheaper jets; the first is the Eclipse 500 which has become available at around 1. The Eclipse Aviation 500 is a small six-seat Business jet aircraft manufactured by Eclipse Aviation. 5 million USD. It remains to be seen whether the new jet manufacturers will complete their designs, or find the market required to sell their jets at the low prices planned.
There are approximately 11,000 business jets in the worldwide fleet with the vast majority of them based in the United States or owned by US companies. The European market is the next largest, with growing activity in Asia and Central America. There is a pre-owned marketplace in which aircraft are bought and sold based on their immediate deliverability because new aircraft orders often take two to three years for delivery.
Since 1996 the term "fractional jet" has been used in connection with business aircraft owned by a consortium of companies. Year 1996 ( MCMXCVI) was a Leap year starting on Monday (link will display full 1996 Gregorian calendar) Costly overheads such as flight crew, hangarage and maintenance can be shared through such arrangements.
Classes
The business jet industry groups the jets into five loosely-defined "classes", Heavy, Super Mid-size, Mid-size, Light, and Very Light.
