NetJets Gulfstream 550 The Best of the Best
Speed Sells Cessna Citation X extremely popular in NetJets program Four hours West Coast to East Coast Four and one-half hours East Coast to West Coast Owners will not accept GIVSP/GV upgrades BUT.
NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE STORY! Our industry has a BIG PROBLEM, and that s what I call LILLIPUTIAN THINKING.
A.T.C. is Killing the Citation X! Biggest ATC management issue is how to handle departures and arrivals such that maximum benefit can be obtained from Citation X aircraft 1. For example, slowing down to 350 N.M. out when flying into New York Center airspace! 2. Descending to FL290 250 N.M. out of New York Center airspace!

Very Light Jets Adam A700 Eclipse 500
Very Light Jets Very light jets, as we know them today, were never designed to operate 1,000 flight hours per year. This holds true for most VLJ Adam aircraft A700 systems, too. The current air taxi model will be a failure using any of the current VLJ designs, because of these design flaws. Trying to put a square Eclipse peg 500 into a round hole.
Future Very Light Jet (VLJ) Auto Land System? Maybe Not! Adam A700 Eclipse 500 WHY NOT REMOTE PILOT TECHNOLOGY AS THE S.I.C.? MIGHT REQUIRE FLY-BY-WIRE. WIRE. CURRENTLY, 33.3% OF THE TYPICAL VLJ S S SEATS ARE OCCUPIED BY THE FLIGHT CREW!
NASA Aeronautics Continued research at NASA Aeronautics can help overcome all of these challenges: a) smart supportability, in-time maintenance, vehicle health monitoring, prognostics / diagnostics, etc., b) advanced traffic management algorithms, architecture, etc. c) advanced engine cycle, quiet nozzle development, quiet aircraft development, etc. d) remote piloting capitalizing on advances in unmanned vehicle technology, etc., e) low sonic boom demonstrations, supersonic laminar flow, variable cycle engine design.
NASA Aeronautics I MEAN, THAT S WHAT NASA AERONAUTICS IS ALL ABOUT, RIGHT? To quote a famous central Ohio philosopher: AIN T IT BOUT TIME SOMEBODY DONE SOMETHING BOUT DIS?
NEW I.S.S. ACTIVITY???
Next Generation?
Dick Trent NETJETS Custodian in 1978 On my third day of employment at The Jet, Dick told me that. Promises are like crying babies in a theatre, they should be carried out!
