Encyclopedia
The Eviation Jets EV-20 is a very light jet
(VLJ) currently under development. The aircraft is anticipated to be powered by two Williams FJ44-1AP
turbofan
engines, and will have a cruise speed of 424 knots (831 km/h) at 36000 feet (10,972.8 m) with an approximate range of 1300 nautical miles (2,407.6 km).
In the executive configuration it will have room for eight passengers, while in the commuter configuration it will have room for ten. It will have Garmin G1000 avionics. Its design is based on Burt Rutan
