SyberJet Aircraft SJ30i
The SJ30i is SyberJet's modernized version of the SJ30-2, a swept-wing light jet that is uniquely capable of holding a sea-level cabin to 41,000 ft and cruising at Mach 0.83 over 2,500 nm. The i-model adds Honeywell Epic-based SyberVision avionics, but the program has progressed slowly and no production examples have yet been delivered.
In short: The SyberJet Aircraft SJ30i is a Light Jet with a range of 2,500 nm, a cruise speed of 486 knots and room for 4 passengers. It lists at about $9.2M new and costs roughly $1,500 an hour to operate (estimate).
