VERY LIGHT JET (VLJ) CAPABILITY

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)



1. This is a special notice requesting information to help the U.S. Air Force examine potential capabilities and military uses of an emerging aircraft class called Very Light Jet (VLJ). This class is generally defined by a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) no greater than 10,000 lb, powered by one or two gas turbine engines (turbofan or turbojet), and a commercial list price of much less than $5M per aircraft.

2. The Air Force is requesting information from appropriate companies or parties currently developing VLJ aircraft.

3. The Air Force is interested in assessing military utility for specific missions that the VLJ class may be suited to perform including passenger/cargo transport, navigation training, transition training, Homeland Defense, surveillance, and target tow.

4. Finally, the Air Force is interested in obtaining current and accurate information for each VLJ vehicle to include the characteristic data.
