It made sense to Cirrus as they did the same thing with VLJ and installed the door opening forward for testing phase. See https://youtu.be/8jM3V9J0XnI?t=134

Reviving an old thread. Looks pretty good. Flying video from October 2020, prices, schedule and other information. The weights, speed and size are amazing. They're expecting EASA certification and sales of certificated aircraft by 2024. Beats the 'raptor' for sure. [youtube]https://youtu.be/eQ46SLh9W8k[/youtube]

That funky tail will never fly. I am thinking it was not the sf-50 plans they stole https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6RohURWM0IHas suicide canopy in front of cuisinard.

I am guessing detachable wings are for containerized shipping. I was never real happy in thr old lears with most of the fuel behind me. Nor the A35 for that matter.

Fuel behind you? Yes. "most"? No. The fuselage tank on the Lears was pretty small and was used for extending range. In most cases you'd compromise the weight to get payload and fly with the "trunk" empty. While I agree that fuel in the fuselage is less than desirable, I'm afraid that by the time you had a crash that was made significantly worse by the fuel in the fuselage tank, it probably would have killed you anyway. To be honest I never thought much about it.

Links in the OP are dead. Here is the current website. Significantly higher empty and gross weighs than posted earlier: 1,980 lb EW and 4,070 lb GW foe a useful load of over 2,000 lb. Were the original numbers the prototype and current numbers the production model? I don’t know the answer to that one. Also, a diagram shows all fuel in the wing roots. The outer wing panels detach outboard of the wing tanks. I’m glad someone is working on these.
