Very light jets are the smallest business jets: certified for a single pilot, with a maximum takeoff weight under about 10,000 lb, four to seven seats and a range of roughly 1,000 to 1,300 nm. Most are flown by their owners, often stepping up from a piston or turboprop aircraft.
COMPARE

Published figures for each type (the best-documented variant where a page covers several). Value is Radar's value model by build year, the middle listing-based estimate, or a rough range for the type. Aircraft: US registrations where Radar matches the type to the FAA register, otherwise the aircraft on Radar.

RANGE
Very light jets: how far each one flies.
Published range, longest first. The dashed lines are great-circle distances of familiar trips; winds, payload and reserves change any one flight.
BEST FOR
Which very light jet for which mission.
Owner-pilots and trips of one to two hours: regional business travel, a weekend place a few hundred miles away, and short runways that larger jets cannot use.

QUESTIONS
Very light jets: questions, answered from the data
What is a very light jet?
Very light jets are the smallest business jets: certified for a single pilot, with a maximum takeoff weight under about 10,000 lb, four to seven seats and a range of roughly 1,000 to 1,300 nm. Most are flown by their owners, often stepping up from a piston or turboprop aircraft. The 5 on Radar are published at 1,125 to 1,275 nm of range, with 5 to 6 seats at most.
How much does a very light jet cost?
From about $700K for an older Eclipse 500 to $17M for a recent Honda HA-420, by Radar's value model, listing-based and rough estimates. Within one model, build year, hours, engine programs and the logbooks move the price.
What is the longest-range very light jet?
The Cirrus Vision Jet, published at 1,275 nm. Next: the Citation Mustang (1,150 nm) and the Eclipse 500 (1,125 nm).
What is the fastest very light jet?
The Eclipse 500, with a published high-speed cruise of 370 knots true airspeed (maximum operating Mach 0.58).
How many passengers does a very light jet seat?
Between 5 and 6 at most, by model; the median is 5. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats.
Which very light jet has the biggest cabin?
By published cabin height, the Cessna Citation Mustang: 4 ft 6 in high, 4 ft 7 in wide, 9.8 ft long.
Can a very light jet fly coast to coast?
Not nonstop. New York to Los Angeles is about 2,129 nm, more than the published range of any very light jet here (up to 1,275 nm). The trip takes one fuel stop.
What is the most common very light jet in the US?
Of the models Radar matches to the FAA register, the Cirrus Vision Jet, with 761 US registrations (FAA file of October 2026).
