Ouch

the piaggo is fast, but at the higher cruise altitudes, (above FL310) doesn't the cruise speed of the Piaggo drop off? whereas the CJ1+ will be able to do 400ktas to at least FL410, no? I am guessing here, so don't be too tough on me if I am wrong!

not sure which model they had but I know according to the Piaggio website it will do 402kts at 38 000' and ceiling of 41 000'

max speed for the CJ1+ from the cessna website is 389kts (doesn't say at what alt) but has a ceiling of 41 000' as well

That's pretty good for a turbo prop. I didn't realise the CJ series were so slow....

in that case, wtf? why make that trade? Maybe it was the Avanti 1 they got rid of, in which case the CJ1+ would be a marginal upgrade, i suppose.
