Javelin two-seater executive jet set to begin production

July 4, 2006 It takes but a glance at the Javelin personal jet to understand that it was born from the intense desire to offer military performance to the general aviation market. That was our intro in April last year when we first saw the Javelin, and subsequent stories in June, August and October charted the Javelin’s construction, flight testing and now we can report that the prototype testing has yielded several design changes (an increase in wing size, enhancement of wing lift devices, and improvement to the canopy opening mechanism) and with these last major design changes, the Javelin’s configuration is being frozen for production. At US$2.795 million (2005 dollars indexed), the Javelin offers jet fighter performance at a fraction of what you’d be likely to pay if you could buy a fighter jet … and that’s the biggest bonus because you can actually buy a Javelin if you’re prepared to stand in line for a year or two.
