SyberJet Aircraft Unveils the Next Generation SJ36 Light Jet
SyberJet Aircraft recently announced an impressive addition to its lineup, the all-new
SJ36 light jet. This next-gen aircraft is set to redefine the capabilities of light jets, featuring a single-pilot, nine-seat configuration and remarkable specifications aimed at enhancing both performance and passenger comfort. Currently under development, the SJ36 aims for FAA certification by 2032, marking a significant leap forward in the sector.
The SJ36 has been created as an evolution from the already certified
SyberJet SJ30-2. It aims to become a leader in nearly every aspect of the light jet category thanks to its cutting-edge design and technology. A few of its standout features are:
- - A projected maximum operating Mach number (Mmo) of 0.88
- - An extended cabin, 4 feet longer than the SJ30-2
- - A 14-kilowatt zero-emission auxiliary power unit (APU), promoting sustainability
- - Smartphone integration for remote cabin temperature management
- - Over-the-air updates for avionics and cabin systems
- - Remote diagnostics and flight planning capabilities
- - Approximately 7,000 pounds of combined thrust for powerful performance
- - An operational ceiling of 49,000 feet with sea-level cabin pressure up to 41,000 ft
- - A maximum takeoff weight of around 18,500 lbs and an impressive range of 3,000 nautical miles
These characteristics highlight the SJ36’s potential to bridge the divide between light and midsize jets. One of its key advantages is the ability to offer routes that were previously considered unfeasible for light jets. For instance, journeys such as Los Angeles to Hawaii and Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles could become a reality, drastically reducing charter costs by 50% on specific non-stop routes.
At the heart of SyberJet's innovation lies the proprietary
SyberVision™ avionics suite. This advanced system is equipped with a high-tech glass cockpit, featuring six
HD touchscreens, an autopilot-enabled flight management system, and cutting-edge features like autothrottle and FADEC compatibility. Furthermore, it incorporates fly-by-wire controls and enhanced weather systems that leverage zonal architecture.
The company has ramped up its dedication to integrating technology seamlessly into aviation, with the flight testing of the new avionics system anticipated to commence in 2027. Trevor Milton, CEO of SyberJet, emphasizes his active involvement in the design processes, ensuring that this aircraft is equipped with one of the most advanced avionics platforms available on the market. The aim is to create a user-friendly system that enhances pilot experience and operational effectiveness.
Scheduled to deliver the first units of the SJ36 in 2032, SyberJet is projecting a price of
$14 million per jet. For industry stakeholders, including charter operators and government clients, opportunities to engage with SyberJet for further inquiries are available via their official website.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the company is taking significant steps toward job creation, with plans to add over
1,500 positions within the next four years, emphasizing its commitment not only to innovation but also to community growth.
