SubSonex JSX-2T is designed to be\nthe lowest cost jet trainer ever! It will be a perfect trainer for the\nsingle-place JSX-2, and for those who want to share the unique experience of\njet-powered flight in a light aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JSX-2T is configured with side-by-side seating for optimum\nflexibility in CG\/loading and offers an ideal training environment for its\ncrew. With a wing span of 21.8 feet JSX-2T will have similar wing loading and\nhandling to the single-place JSX-2. The two-place jet will utilize the same\nproven PBS TJ-100 turbojet engine system. An optional, more powerful PBS TJ-150\nwill achieve even higher performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers and media representatives are invited to attend\nthe Sonex Aircraft Open House and Homecoming Fly-In event on Sunday July 21st\nat 10am to learn more about the JSX-2T, its projected development timeline, and\nhow customers can get in-line for their own 2-place SubSonex. The event is held\nat Sonex Factory Headquarters on Wittman Regional Airport the day before EAA\nAirVenture Oshkosh 2019 begins. A forum will also be held at AirVenture on\nWednesday, July 24th on Forum Stage 5 at 11:30am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SubSonex Personal Jet aircraft first began development in 2009, and is now being sold around the world as the most popular and affordable kit jet aircraft. The SubSonex, a popular and serious aerobatic airshow performer that delivers high top speeds and a true fighter jet feel, also shares the docile, low speed handling characteristics enjoyed by the Sonex, Waiex, and Onex designs. SubSonex JSX-2 kit+engine+completion costs start at under $114,000. Sonex Aircraft\u2019s target for the SubSonex JSX-2T is to offer a 2-place jet that can be built and flown for under $140,000!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table  class=\"wp-block-table table table-hover\" ><thead><tr><td>\n   <strong>JSX-2T Estimated Specifications &amp; Performance<\/strong>\n   <\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\n  Length\n  <\/td><td>\n  18\u00e2\u0080\u00b2 7.75\u00e2\u0080\u00b3 [5.68 m]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Wingspan\n  <\/td><td>\n  21\u00e2\u0080\u00b2 9.6\u00e2\u0080\u00b3 [6.65 m]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Wing Area\n  <\/td><td>\n  87.2 sq ft [8.1 sq m]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Height\n  <\/td><td>\n  5\u00e2\u0080\u00b2 8.2\u00e2\u0080\u00b3 [1.73 m]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Width with Outboard Wing Panels Removed\n  <\/td><td>\n  7\u00e2\u0080\u00b2 6\u00e2\u0080\u00b3 [2.29 m]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Cabin Width\n  <\/td><td>\n  42\u00e2\u0080\u00b3 [106.68 cm]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Empty Weight (estimated)\n  <\/td><td>\n  530 lbs [240.4 kg]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Gross Weight\n  <\/td><td>\n  1500 lbs [680.39 kg]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Useful Load (estimated)\n  <\/td><td>\n  970 lbs [440 kg]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Fuel Capacity\n  <\/td><td>\n  50 U.S. Gallons [189.3 l]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Baggage Capacity\n  <\/td><td>\n  40 lbs [18.14 kg]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Stall Speed (estimated)\n  <\/td><td>\n  65 mph [104.6 km\/h]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Cruise Speed (estimated)\n  <\/td><td>\n  200+ mph [321.9+ km\/h]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Never Exceed Speed\n  <\/td><td>\n  275 mph [442.6 km\/h]\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Load Factors (Utility)\n  <\/td><td>\n  +4.4 Gs, -2.2 Gs\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Load Factors (Aerobatic)\n  <\/td><td>\n  +6 Gs, -3 Gs\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sonex Aircraft has announcee the development of a 2-place variant of the popular SubSonex Personal Jet!
