A very light jet (VLJ), entry-level jet or personal jet, previously known as a microjet, is a category of small business jets that seat four to eight people. VLJs are considered the lightest business jets and are approved for single-pilot operation.
The Cirrus Vision SF50 was the first certified single-engine civilian jet and is the most-produced VLJ with 514 deliveries since 2016.
The Cessna Citation Mustang was the first VLJ, produced from 2006–2017, and is the second most-produced with 479 delivered.
Still delivered, the Embraer Phenom 100 is the third most-produced VLJ and began production in December 2008.
A business jet, private jet, or bizjet is a jet aircraft designed for transporting small groups of people, typically business executives and high-ranking associates. Business jets are generally designed for faster air travel and more personal comfort than commercial aircraft, and may be adapted for other roles, such as casualty evacuation or express parcel deliveries, and some are used by public bodies, government officials, VIPs, or even the armed forces.
Over 2,000 Cessna CitationJets have been delivered, making it the most popular line of business jets.
