Flight 2007 Pocket Guide to Business Aircraft 2007 POCKET GUIDE TO BUSINESS AIRCRAFT ALAN PEAFORD SUPPORTED BY Foreword aviation is probably at its most exciting since the day the BUSINESSworld woke up to Bill Lear’s concept that led to the coining of the phrase “jetsetter.” In 2006 some 13 business aircraft received certification or were first delivered to customers – as we enter 2007 there are close to another 20 business aircraft in serious development. This pocket book was created to bring together all of the aircraft that are First edition published in 2006 by Aerocomm regularly used for business and corporate purposes – and to look too at those aircraft in development that should see certification within the next Aerocomm Ltd couple of years.

When it comes to pilots training with aircraft, they must often use repurposed older aircraft to log their training hours. With few options when it comes to aircraft that are designed specifically for training, we have researched, modeled, and simulated tests for our own trainer jet to add to the market.

    ISSUE 3, DECEMBER 2007 D-JET: A New Day Dawning! Visit our website at www.diamondaircraft.com/djet or call us at 1.888.359.3220. ISSUE 3, DECEMBER 2007 2007 – An Exciting Year for Diamond’s D-JET Program Welcome to the third issue of the D-JET Flyer, our regular update on the Diamond D-JET program. As we approach the end of 2007 and the holiday season, this is a good occasion to reflect on the path we’ve been traveling, to celebrate the progress and to reflect on our learning along the way regarding the D-JET. In 2007, we saw the roll-out and first flights of D-JET serial number 002. This is a noteworthy milestone, because this is aerodynamically and structurally the first D-JET using our production-quality tooling. This is just one among many major engineering and manufacturing milestones. We made great progress growing our world-class team so we can deliver D-JET to market and make it a great success. We had the opportunity to work closely with a wide variety of partners and suppliers to make progress on D-JET’s development. As the year draws to a close, we also are nearing the rollout of S/N 003. Notably, we are so excited and honored that so many customers have stepped forward to reserve their D-JET position…or positions (plural). This is an amazing reflection of their enthusiasm for the aircraft and their confidence in our organization to deliver D-JET in a quality way. With all this in mind, as we close out 2007, I want to take this opportunity to say “thank you.” Thank you to our customers for your confidence.
