this plane doesnt need a ejection seat. look at the wing on this plane..it would glide very well.. this thing rotates at the same speed as a piper saratoga.. would be a great jet to transition into ...
my buddy scott carol took me down too see this jet in it's first stages it was bad ass then and now i have seen there is a 2 seater how much is it 2 take a ride it would be a dream come true!!

warghost: Sorry, but you are a little under educated in the fabrication process of this aircraft. All subassembly work is done at a professional shop using jigs and fixtures with a quality assurance program in place. I personally ran the project program at CU for about 5 years before Viper pulled it out. I also did the retrofit of the new wing to their fuselage and even went flying in it with Len Fox. This model is built lik a brick s**thouse as it is.
im not gonna pay a million dollars a for a jet made in someones garage. its like paying a million dollars for my own death this is not a joke question but is there an ejection seat in this jet?
there is not technically an ejection "seat" but yes there is a method of ejecting with this aircraft. If you really wanted a true ejection seat, im sure it would not be hard to have one installed
"El Phantasmo and the Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama (Wine, Women, and Song mix)" by White Zombie ... from the disc "Supersexy Swingin' Sounds" ... several other tracks on that disc rock every bit as hard.
VipeJet is do to release a new aircraft called the "Viper FanJet" extending the range to 1,500 nm, increasing cruise speed to 450 - 500 kts as well as increasing cabin and cargo space. Final cost should be around the $1.1 million mark.
What's the specs/performance? Looks similar to the T-38 or tigershark jet.
I'm actually more impressed with the BD-10, because it is similar to the F-15. Too bad they did not re-design the horizontal tails after the fatal crash.
I hope that the crash you are refering to is not that of our gear up landing in Van Nuys California, in which we suffered only supperficial damage. In fact, that actual demonstration jet is within two weeks of flying once again.
@ViperJetMrkII No he was referring to the BD10 crash that stopped that project. It was probably 10 years ago, your plane wasn't even on the paper yet.
Your more impressed with a plan that has flown and self destructed several times causeing the piolt to die. Obviously you are not interested in owning any of these. This is a real aircraft for real people with familes and a future not an experiment that doesn't work.
No it is caped at FL28. Basically becuase it ensures that normal pilots can fly it. Not people with heavy airtransport licenses and a decade of experience. Abover FL28 you need specialised Altimeters and licenses. Its where all the big heavies play. A decision they made to make it more accessible for the person that earns money, then flies not earns money by flying.
