Cool jet. $2000/h is a great deal considering the cost of other places with 39s. The 400 mile range was shocking, that’s terrible for something with that speed. He mentioned the tip tanks add 50G but how much fuel gets you a sad 400 miles?

[@ronnielittlerock7208]

What I don't understand is why the stats I looked up on the jet show it has a range of 1,087 miles

[@nickstoica]

If you have this kind of moola better get a Viper Jet MK II no warbird restrictions faster new & don’t need 1K hours either.

[@gavinhalm3016]

The Viper Jet is a kit-build "Experimental" plane with a jet engine, so yes, one needs a Type rating from the FAA that needs to be renewed annually same as the L-39. Plus, an L-39 is right around the same price with a "glass" cockpit (~500k), and it's a bad-@$$, late-Soviet era real life jet trainer with plenty of examples around world-wide...a Viper Jet can't touch that level of awesome, even if it is a few knots faster.

I dont get why a private pilot needs 1000 hrs to get trained to fly an L39. That many hours a can get you a job for a major air carrier. Actually military pilots are going up in L39s with waaay less time, and doing fine. Makes no sense to me.

[@bobswan6196]

[@justin83mason]

Eh

[@DanFrederiksen]

I wonder why it's so heavy. And such a big body. 3.5ton empty, only 2 seat unpressurized and 17kN thrust engine. A 300kg Williams FJ44-4 engine can match that thrust. A good composite bird should be possible at 600kg including engine. Which would be a very different thrust to weight ratio. And fuel economy. And top speed.

[@DanFrederiksen]

we need small efficient GA jets. sub 200k$ new price, same fuel economy as a Sling yet close to speed of sound. It's very doable.

[@lucifermorningstar4548]

Dan Frederiksen no it’s not doable. You must be new to aviation. The cheapest jet engine that can push a 1 passenger jet (Subsonex jet from Sonex) is still over $70,000 for just the engine, and it drinks gas. A RR 300 turbo shaft engine is about $450,000 and that’s barely 400shp. Nothing is cheap let alone a jet. And jet aircraft cannot be flimsy like a Sling TSI because they are subjected to higher G’s and speeds.

[@raf3031]

ITS PRESSURIZED

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@lucifermorningstar4548 ye of little faith. Unlike you I have the insight to think on my own, I'm not an unquestioning product of what has already been done. I'm well familiar with the sad state of aviation. Of course it can be done and I wouldn't use the same construction as the current sling. You'll notice I said composite bird. If you weren't new to aviation you'd understand what that means. A Lancair IV-P can do 540km/t so it's not a structural impossibility to go fast. Lancair also exists in faster turboprop versions. And it's not like a Cirrus Visionjet is a 12g rated fighter. But of course needs flutter stability appropriate of its speed.
btw did you create this account just to be the devil's advocate or do you have this general sunny disposition?

[@lucifermorningstar4548]

Dan Frederiksen i must have hurt your feelings. And it’s sad it took you this long to come up with some kind or retort. And when you did it was sad. No I am not new to aviation at all, after my time in the Air Force I went and got my A&P license and have been working at Lockheed Martin since 2011. I think I might k ow a little bit about composite aircraft construction. My comment stands as it was. You will never see what you are hoping for. Aviation will never be cheap especially if there are turbine engines involved. From an insider I can say that for certain.
