Safire Aircraft Company's goal is to produce a comfortable, six seat jet at a reasonable price. The company's Safire Jet is aimed at satisfying a customer base that needs a small personal aircraft in the $1.4 million price range.

Designed to be operated by a single pilot, it can cruise at 380 knots at 41,000 ft. Powered by twin Williams FJ33-4 turbofan engines, it can operate at airports with 2,500 ft runways.

Actually, I tested it using Abacus' test feature, and it's one of the worst aircraft I ever seen (and that includes many freeware).

If you want a superb small jet, go with Eaglesoft's CJ1. :D

Maybe we should email Eaglesoft 5 times a day to make them build a budget jet.

Yes.

But there is a FS version of the CJ1.

Excellent payware : http://www.eaglesoftdg.com
