The SJ30 provides a new level of performance in the light business jet class. Powered by two Williams FJ44-2A fanjet engines, the SJ30 is the world’s fastest (.83 mach, 486 knots or 560 mph) and has the longest range (2,875 sm or 2,500 nm) of all light business jets in the “under 20,000 lb” class. The SJ30 has the world's only sea level cabin at 41,000 ft and has a ceiling of 49,000 ft. The SJ30 operates at the world's lowest cost per mile in its class.
The SJ30 is the world’s first light business jet with full transatlantic capability. It is also the first light business jet to have the range to fly “anywhere to anywhere” in Europe and “anywhere to anywhere” in the continental US. All this comes with single pilot certification.
Performance, style and technology have come together to create the SJ30 corporate jet as one of the world's most technologically advanced light business jets on the market today.
SJ30 Business Jet Performance
Performance is everything. Speed, range, altitude, useable airfields, and the economy of ownership are vital factors when considering which aircraft to buy. Tradeoffs in the past were a part of buying planes…gas-guzzling jet engines, fat wings, slow speeds and the obligatory mid-continent stop.
Today, the SJ30 Jet has redefined the word "performance". The big gas-guzzling engines of days past have been replaced with fuel efficient "wide sweep fan" technology fanjets. Beautifully swept wings have replaced the fat, slow, straight wings. Advanced leading edge slats and Fowler flaps effortlessly lift the agile SJ30 from 3,600 ft runways and fly 2,875 sm to destinations previously unattainable in the light business jet class. Lightly loaded, the SJ30 can use 3,000 ft runways and land within 2,780 ft. Unmatched in its class for speed, range and overall performance, the SJ30 truly embodies the new utility of light business jets.

SJ30 Business Jet Style
The SJ30 business jet is the embodiment of grace, elegance and performance. The graceful lines of the SJ30 convey the sense that this is no ordinary machine - you can feel the speed! Elegance, from the ground up, is evident from the trailing-link landing gear, the sleek fuselage and swept wings. The 32” door opens to classic design and exquisite appointments, the hallmark of the SJ30 interior.
The side-facing belted lavatory is certified for takeoff and landing. Passengers can make calls to anywhere in the world with the optional Iridium satellite phone. Optional temperature and lighting controls are located in the aft club and readily available to the passengers. The forward-facing seating in the aft cabin is as wide as first class airline seats and recline to a full-berthing position. Style, in SJ30 terms, is defined as performance, comfort, safety, and value that you would only expect in jets far beyond this price level.
SJ30 Internal Dimensions and Typical Layout
Large forward-facing, fully-reclining seats in the rear provide comfort for the longer trips. The rear-facing seats also recline for added comfort. Forward of the club seating is an internal baggage area. Opposite the baggage area is the refreshment center. A belted lavatory (approved for takeoffs and landings) finishes the 12 ft 6 in cabin. The 12 psi cabin pressurization sets the SJ30 apart from all aircraft in the world. Not even the Space Shuttle or the Concorde supersonic airliners have this level of cabin comfort. The passengers and crew will fly virtually all flights with a sea-level cabin, breathe 34% more oxygen and not suffer large, annoying pressure changes as with other cabins. You will arrive feeling more relaxed and refreshed.

SJ30 Business Jet Technology
The SJ30 is one of the most technologically advanced light business jets on the market today. Dual tires on all three struts ensure an added measure of safety. Trailing-link gear smoothes out the taxiing and the landings. Leading edge slats combined with the Fowler flaps allow the 32.6 degree swept wing to fly at near supersonic speeds and then land at a comfortable 105 kt V ref speed. The cockpit is equipped with the latest flat panel technology. The amazing "EpicT" Control Display System (CDS) is standard in every SJ30.
Passengers will find 110V power outlets, data ports, light and heat controls at their fingertips. The SJ30 has the most outstanding cabin pressure system in the world. At 12 psi, the SJ30 has no competition. Internal cabin storage and a large external, aft baggage compartment round out this perfect package of speed, range and good looks.
Performance - It Starts With the Wing
Swept back 32.6 degrees, with a proprietary airfoil designed to maximize performance with the Williams International FJ44-2A engine, it's the most sophisticated wing in the light jet industry. The swept-back wing brings speed - more speed than you can buy in any other aircraft at twice the price.
Easy-to-use fowler flaps coupled with slats transform the wing into a short field performer that gets you in and out of 3,000 ft runways at light loads, and 4,000 ft runways at maximum loads.
Engines - Power and Economy
Williams International FJ44-2A fanjets, with "wide sweep fan" technology offer more thrust, exceptional quality, lighter weight and lower fuel consumption. In combination with the high technology wing, they give you the speed and range you would only expect in jets far beyond this price level.
