The Cirrus Vision Jet is a business aircraft that a single pilot can fly with up to six other individuals onboard. The plane can go without refueling up to 1,275 nautical miles but, more realistically, 950 nautical miles cruising at 310 knots. According to the manufacturer, the private jet has a fuselage made out of carbon fiber composites, the same material used on the commercial Airbus A350 aircraft. The most crucial advantage of carbon fiber is its weight. It is considerably lighter than aluminum alloy, allowing for savings in terms of fuel, as less power is needed to keep the aircraft in the air.
