Twin turbofan business jet.
The aircraft has low mounted, supercritical wings with fixed leading edges and winglets, t-tail with an anahedral tailplane and twin podded turbofan engines to the rear of the fuselage.
The airframe is predominantly aluminium alloy including skin panels of the wings and fin. Non-structural fairings are steel alloy, stainless steel and titanium. Winglets and nose radomes are constructed from composites.
Two pilots on flight deck face Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) with 4 colour LCD displays plus Head-up Display (HUD) with Enhanced Vision System (EVS). The cabin, for 8 passengers, is the widest in its class .
