The A700 jet aircraft from Adam Aircraft is considered to be a very light jet in spite of its unusual but affective airframe design that provides plenty of power and cabin space. In fact the Adam A700 has one of the largest cabins in its very light jet class and a price tag of only $2.25 M. Adam Aircraft has already booked significant orders of over 275 of the A700 jet aircraft that includes orders from Air Taxi companies such as Magnum Jet and Pogo. The FAA full certification for the Adam A700 jet is expected to be announced in early 2007.
Adam Aircraft, a privately funded company based in Colorado, designed and manufacturer the A700 jet; which is a close sibling of the twin-engine propeller A500 airplane from Adam Aircraft. Adam Aircraft designs and manufactures advanced aircraft for various markets. The company uses computer-aided design, rapid prototyping, advanced manufacturing techniques, and carbon composite materials to produce high-performance aircraft at attractive prices.
The Adam A700 jet is designed to handle different types of missions; commercial, general aviation, military or emergency. The Adam jet aircraft features a wide footprint and a durable cabin construction that is certified at 8.5 psi but tested up to 3 times that amount at 24 psi; verses the usual 17 psi for aluminum cabin.
Adam Aircraft utilizes Toray and Cytec carbon fiber material that are impregnated with 977-2 hardened epoxy resin to build the fuselage and wings for the Adam A700 jet aircraft. According to Adam Aircraft, these materials save 25% weight in comparison with business jets made with aluminum. In fact the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 utilize the same materials. |
