PHOENIX - SyberJet Aircraft in Phoenix has announced the development of the SJ36, a next-generation light jet designed for single-pilot operation with nine seats. Certification is targeted for 2032. The SJ36 evolves from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-certified SyberJet SJ30-2 and is intended to compete across nearly all light jet categories.
Key specifications include a projected maximum operating Mach number of 0.88, a four-foot cabin extension over the SJ30-2, a 14-kilowatt zero-emission auxiliary power unit, remote cabin temperature control via smartphone or computer, over-the-air updates for avionics and cabin systems, and remote flight plan and diagnostics. The jet has approximately 7,000 pounds of combined thrust, a 49,000-foot operating ceiling, sea-level cabin pressure up to 41,000 feet, a maximum takeoff weight of about 18,500 pounds, and a range of 3,000 nautical miles.
The SJ36 is designed to bridge the gap between light and mid-size jets, enabling longer non-stop routes, such as Los Angeles to Hawaii and Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles.
The aircraft features an all-new avionics suite under prototype development, including six high-definition touchscreens, a flight management system with autopilot and autothrottle, fly-by-wire controls, full-authority digital engine control compatibility, enhanced weather systems, and secure over-the-air updates. Flight testing of the avionics system is expected to begin in 2027.
Trevor Milton, CEO of SyberJet, said the company’s engineers and pilots have helped design the avionics to be both capable and user-friendly. First deliveries are expected in 2032, with a projected price of $14 million.
