History      

The innovative Jetcruzer 500 is designed to be a high speed 

low cost single engine corporate turboprop and is the product 

of California based Advanced Aerodynamics and Structures Inc 

(AASI).

The Jetcruzer 500 is based on the smaller, unpressurised 

Jetcruzer 450. Early design work for what would become the 

Jetcruzer 450 began in 1983. Construction of an Allison 250-

C20S powered prototype began in 1988. It flew for the first 

time on January 11 1989.

The preproduction prototype first flew April 1991, and the 

first production standard Jetcruzer 450 on September 13 1992. 

When FAA Part 23 certification was granted on June 14 1994 the 

Jetcruzer became the first aircraft in the world to be 

certificated as spin resistant.


AASI elected not to place the 450 into production and instead 

focused its efforts on the pressurised 500. Initial work was 

on the 500P, which featured a modest 25cm (10in) fuselage 

stretch, but AASI instead decided to enlarge the design 

further. The definitive Jetcruzer features a 1.83m (6ft) 

fuselage stretch over the 450 (increasing cabin length by 90cm 

(3ft), plus a significantly more powerful PT6A66 turboprop 

driving a five (rather than three) blade prop, pressurisation 

to 30,000ft, an airstair entry door on the right hand side and 

additional cabin windows.

First flight of the prototype 500 (the modified preproduction 

prototype 450) was in August 22 1997, followed by the second 

prototype (the modified production 450) on November 7 1997.

Other notable Jetcruzer 500 design features include its canard 

configuration (which allows the main wing to be positioned 

further aft than normal, so the wing spars do not intrude into 

the cabin), lack of flaps (reducing pilot work load and 

manufacturing costs and saving weight), and optional EFIS 

avionics. Like the 450 the 500 will be certificated as spin 

resistant. The fuselage is made from composites while the wing 

and canard are aluminium.

On February 8 2002, AASI announced that it was taking over the 

Mooney assets, and that the name Mooney would be used for the 

combined companies. Headquarters, development, and marketing 

would remain at AASI's facility at Long Beach in California, 

but production of the Jetcruzer would be at Mooney's 

Kerrville, Texas plant.

The company is also working on the Stratocruzer 1250, a 13 

place twin WilliamsRolls FJ-44 powered light corporate jet 

development.

psr Be an Aviator Not a Pilot

is a story of Pilots in Aviation who are unable to cope. This is not a book to teach you how to get into an Aviation School or even how to live like a Pilot. In fact, it describes how one can become a Successfull Aviator not just an Airplane Driver [ So called Pilot ] with very small changes in life. Also Why abroad trained Pilots are better Aviator and Why FAA, CASA, CAAP, CAA are better civil Aviation Authority then DGCA.
