Inside the Factory Building the World’s Smallest, Cheapest Private Jet

Almost all small aircraft manufacturing is owned by the Chinese 'investors' these days. ;)

A noise canceling curtain comes with each unit. They are still working on olfactory angles and the disposal
issue. The hope, according to sometimes reliable sources, is that air force buyers will pay for the R&D and redesign and refitting to solve the problem.

We found that a 5 # coffee can was an acceptable substitute for a toilet on long trips. First one to used got to empty it when we were on the ground.

If it is a family of boys, the only issue is if momma has to pee. We used pee bags for our boys in the early days in the back of my Cutlass. Only time I had to spiral down was over the Ohio River and mom just had to go.

I figure with the light thrust they went less drag from tail surface and depend on thrust flow to add control which still doesn't help stability at altitude for total lift. Seems a bare minimum to get the jet price tag profits. But it will entice some into the extra altitude for getting over some of the bad weather. Well at least until it's some heavy weather then they better have some good guidelines for speed and altitude since possibly there might be limits in thrust and control at altitude in turbulence.

I don't know if this is a real comparison but the 727 and 1011 had dog legs in their airflow. And the 1011 middle engine was not a straight out exhaust, it was slightly canted down. In one case the was a control problem and the plane would only climb. By using a series of power adjustment that could keep near a fixed level, but was sort of a roller coaster ride between San Diego and LA. A Delta flight many years ago.

Seems strange to me that thrust from the engine appears likely to impact the control surfaces, but I'm sure all that was considered and calculated by engineers much more capable than I am. It does look strange though.

LOL.. Cheapest would be my opinion... It certainly looks cheap to me!

It may be well to point out that if you can afford to buy that airplane the price of a chemical toilet is rather insignificant.

That just proves that "Crap" is not cheap! :)

Agreed. We even saw a fair amount of sonic fatigue on the side of the fuselage of our turboprop. It was about 6-8 feet back from the downwash side of the prop. With the exit velocity and sonic shock from the jet, that area better have a lot of stiffeners or doublers!

It's all carbon fiber, not sheet metal.
