With average cruising speeds of 450 miles per hour and a range of up to 2,200 nautical miles, fuel­efficient light jets are the smart choice for executing short­haul, domestic missions. Linking some of the most important city pairs in the US, compact jets can access many airports and airfields—paved and unpaved—that are denied to commercial airlines. The latest generation of light jets, including the Hawker 400XP and the Citation V, feature high­tech avionics, and greater space and comfort; dropped aisles, plush interiors, reclining seats, refreshment centers, and different temperature zones. Larger light jets, including the Phenom 300 feature spacious, enclosed lavatories, and sizable external baggage compartments.
