Company Description

SyberJet Aircraft is a U.S. based manufacturer of the world’s fastest and longest range light business jet—the SJ30. The SJ30 has a top speed of Mach 0.83 (486 kts / 560 mph), a 2,500 nautical mile range, and maintains sea level cabin pressure up to 41,000 feet (maximum flight ceiling of 49,000 feet). The SJ30 is designed with a unique 30 degree swept wing for high speed and fuel efficient cruising that features leading edge slats and flaps that are optimized for low speed approaches and gentle landings. These state of art aerodynamics, coupled with the efficiency and power of Williams FJ44 engines and the advanced technology of SyberVisionTM avionics (with Honeywell inside), have earned the SJ30 three world records for speed and distance. SyberJet Aircraft has operations in Cedar City, Utah and in San Antonio, Texas.
