Most of these aircraft feature state-of-the-art systems and technology and a lot of the aircraft in development are under a corporate blanket so there is little we can do there. The E500 is one of the few aircraft that is already on sale and most of its performance data has already been disclosed. I like flying these small corporate jets since they're easy to handle and still offer a lot of power and range.
