The new type of air craft is an air plane that weighs less than 10000 pounds and uses a jet engine. Problem The student was proposed to designing a conceptual very light jet that could be used for inspiration and accepted the challenge. Method In this thesis the reader can follow the project progress in detail, the proposed methods and the results. The student divided the project into four activities analysis, creation, development and documentation. Result The project ended with a concept very light jet with simple specifications. Illustrations for inspirational usage and a simulation testing for verification of the proposed concept specifications. Keywords: Nm 1 nautical miles = 1.852 kilometres lb 1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms ft 1 foot = 0.3048 metres in 1 inch = 0.025 metres MTOW Maximum take-off weight Pax Available Seats in an airplane both crew and traveller VLJ (micro jet) Very Light Jet, coined expression.
