Up front, the pilots enjoy generous foot and shoulder room plus a field of view no other aircraft offers. Ergonomic seats place the flight crew comfortably in front of a state-of-the-art glass cockpit. The Elite provides all-weather situational awareness and offers advanced flight technology at the pilot’s fingertips. In the cabin, deep-cushion premium leather seats recline to afford passengers maximum comfort. Interior trim elements, custom cabinetry, lavatory and multimedia options are all available, pushing the Elite to the upper tier of the VLJ market. And a maximum cabin pressurization of 8.5 psi means an enjoyable flight for everyone, from beginning to end.

Consistent with the Epic Aircraft business model, the Elite Jet will first be available in 2007 as a 6-7 passenger owner-built aircraft. A 6-8 passenger version of the jet is expected to be certified in late 2009. Delivery positions are now available.
