manufacturers. The comfortable and roomy interiors
will feature ergonomic seats (with the option for
doubles), full bathroom, closet, cargo area and work-
tables, all in fine woods, leather and carbon fiber for
maximum durability.
By easily removing some seats, the cabin can
quickly be turned into a spacious cargo area and the
large access door (137 x 84 cm/54 x 33 in) makes it
easy to introduce all kinds of cargo. As a utility plane,
it can be turned into an aerial ambulance, passenger
carrier or cargo ship.
SIX MILLION EUROS
Aside from its attractive price —about six million
euros— the SPn will try to position itself in a practi-
cally nonexistent market, which currently has 10,000
turboprops in service, with the King Air 200 and 350
dominating the scene. These planes offer a spacious
cabin, but have poor cargo capacity and none of the
performance and comfort of a jet.
There is also the Light Jet segment with an expect-
ed 2,500 deliveries of planes over the next 10 years.
This category has a subdivision, Micro Jets, and these
are single-pilot vessels like the CJ3 and the Premier 1.
Both types (Light Jets and Micro Jets) have small cab-
ins and short range and studies show that there will
be a tendency to replace both the range and the cabin
in the future.
servicio al cliente–, ha vendidomás de 2,000 entre los fabri-
cantes de Light Jets. Los cómodos y amplios interiores con-
tarán con asientos ergonómicos (con la opción a colocar
dobles), baño completo, clóset y zona de almacenamiento,
así como mesas de trabajo, todo con detalles de finas ma-
deras, cuero y fibra de carbón, para máxima duración.
Al quitar fácilmente algunos asientos, la cabina pue-
de convertirse rápidamente en una amplia zona de carga,
y como además cuenta con una amplia puerta de acceso
(137 x 84 cm) puede introducirse todo tipo de carga. Co-
mo utilitario, puede convertirse en ambulancia aérea, car-
ga-pasajeros y carga en pallets.
SEIS MILLONES DE EUROS
Además de que tendrá un precio atractivo –tentativamente
seis millones de euros–, el SPn buscará colocarse en un
mercado prácticamente inexistente, donde actualmen-
te hay 10,000 turboprops en servicio, con dominio del
King Air 200 y 350, que ofrecen una amplia cabina, pero
con poca capacidad de carga y sin el desempeño ni el
confort de un jet.
También están los Light Jets, de los cuales se esperan
2,500 entregas en los próximos 10 años. De estos mode-
los hay una subdivisión, los Micro Jets, para un piloto, co-
mo los modelos CJ3 y Premier 1. Ambos modelos (Light
Jets y Micro Jets) son de cabina pequeña y corto alcance,
y los estudios indican que hay una tendencia a futuro pa-
ra reemplazar tanto el rango como la cabina.
