Opinion:	The ultra-modern Premier 1 is the first light private jet to be constructed with a composite carbon fibre and honeycomb fuselage. This gives a weight saving such that the cabin is considerably larger than other jets of the same weight. In fact, it is unique amongst light jets in having a near stand-up cabin with 5'5" of headroom, plus a cabin width of 5'5", both some eight inches greater than the others. Cruise speed is high too. With its swept wings, the Premier 1 can cruise at some 520MPH, all but matching the fastest-in-class Learjets. The Premier is artificially limited by certification to a maximum take-off weight that qualifies it as a "small airplane/aeroplane". As a result, the maximum range will decrease a little with each additional passenger, as the captain will have to slightly reduce fuel load to ensure that weight limit is respected.
