Is anyone here familiar with Williams-Rolls type turbofan-based aircraft such as Century Aero (http://www.centuryaero.com), which are due for FAA certification sometime in 1999? I realize these are a smaller class then GAC's main line, but the statistics indicate that the initial cost is 50% of existing comparable craft, and 60% hourly maintainance costs. So, while this lower-cost market may not match GAC's "luxury" and longer-range products, I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on the future of the business jet market.
