Flaris Personal Jets Take Off
Robb Report ^ | Mary Grady

Posted on 07/01/2014 7:31:16 AM PDT by PeteePie

Flaris, a new aviation company based in Poland, made an unexpected appearance at the Paris Air Show in June with its prototype of a single-engine personal jet, the LAR01. The all-composite design allows for sweeping lines, with a sharp nose, a cabin that seats four, and long, narrow wings for aerodynamic efficiency. - See more at: http://robbreport.com/aviation/flaris-personal-jets-take?utm_source=outbrain&utm_medium=relatedlinks&utm_campaign=aviation#sthash.PFsSTX3s.dpuf

Only $1.5 million. I’ll keep one at each of my vacation houses.

Very cool. Seems reasonable too. Especially considering it comes with an embedded parachute recovery system.

It just flew a few weeks ago and deliveries to start in 2015?

I think that there is a greater likely hood that I will be able to afford to buy one in 2015 than that they will be ready to sell one by then .

Interesting plane though

Cute pocket rocket, but no legs. Not enough fuel or cruise time to take advantage of the speed.

Might as well fly a twin recip, chock to chock time would be close, better for the recip on longer flights.

Just like Cirrus.

Let's try a bigger picture for you;

Is there an He-162 in its ancestry?

After consulting the Civil Aviation Office, we have decided to perform the resonance tests before the aircraft’s first flight.

I really dig the suicide doors. Hope they don't come open in flight.

They could always add drop tanks.

Air brakes.

Helps with short runways.

Landing on really really short runways, drag your feet too.

As a general rule, I like to see the flutter test results before the design of an aircraft of this type is frozen.

As a hard and fast rule, I expect to see them before I would fly in the plane.

The difference seems that this system is located in the nose and Cirrus is located around mid-point on the fuselage. I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t also have the glass cockpit like the Cirrus.

My point was in response to your original comment, it did not just flew a few weeks ago.
