Sonex Jet

God, do any of these videos show these birds flying, or they all props that don't work? Comon people show them in the air.

What sort of jet engine is that?

@LOSTPRATT63 More lift at low speed.

@LOSTPRATT63 Swept wings are not conducive to low speed flight. This may be jet powered but it isn't going that fast.

It's a plane you fly every now and then for the thrill and fun of it for a few dozen of minutes at a time, not a passenger jet. Those small turbines tend to be terribly inefficient anyway.

@oiseautempete

Yes, yes it is.

[fenderspring]

probably 240 knots? How about proof?

I don't think companies should bring out airplanes that have never flown and are not available. Sonex is doing this with both the electric airplane and this jet airplane. Why tease? Don't be like car companies and tease with show cars you never want to give us.... that's just mean...

I believe John Monnett stated they were still developing an engine control unit and there were other engines under consideration, so this particular engine may not be the one that actually flies.

Here it is September, and word is Monnett has never yet flown this plane. Never even started the engine! Why NOT???
