23-Feb-08 Today saw the very first visit of a VLJ - a Very Light Jet. The Cessna 510 Mustang is
the first of the new generation of VLJ to achieve full type
certification. The VLJ is a small jet approved for
single pilot operations, much lighter than traditional 'bizjets'.
Others in the category include the Eclipse 500, Diamond
D-Jet & Embraer Phenom. Combined orders are said
to be in the thousands.
