Sorry if everyone already knew this. I had no idea.

Are they ever gonna build one?

Yeah, they announced it last summer, if I recall correctly.

Although, back then, they didn't expect certification until late 2010.

Here is an AOPA news bit on it: http://www.aopa.org/oshkosh08/articles/ ... amond.html

Quote:

The pressurization project will push SuperStar certification back a year, until late 2010, compared to the schedule announced last year. The Magnum is set for certification in late 2009. Prices will be announced later.

--Magnum is probably for European markets as it burns Jet A.

PS: The question is : HOW MUCH pressure differential ??

At least initially they "promised" a 12,000 ft cabin at 25,000 ft.

But, as you said, we'll see what really comes out.
