The 11 Best Private Jets for Any Kind of Trip
Technology is disrupting aviation. This past February, Intuitive Machines became the first private company to land on the moon, and Boom Supersonic’s successful test flight of its XB-1 demonstrator last week could eventually make it the first privately funded aircraft to pierce the sound barrier at a cruise speed of Mach 1.7. Boom’s goal is to create the Overture, a supersonic business jet that can accommodate 10 to 20 people.
In a far less public way, business jet manufacturers are using new tech on their latest models to improve range and speed, as well as fuel efficiency, safety, and passenger comfort. They are showing up in areas as diverse as the digital flight control system in the cockpit of the Dassault’s flagship 10X to the Autoland on the Cirrus G2+ Vision Jet, to the custom Nuage seats that Bombardier designed for its Challenger 3500.
We sifted through business aviation’s five categories and chose its most exceptional models, though this list is by no means exhaustive, since the sector continues to create more advanced aircraft each year.
In the meantime, here are our 11 favorites, from new ultra-long-range aircraft to very light jets.
