Flaris LAR-01 Very Light Jet Progresses Toward Certification
First flown in April 2019, the USD $2 million Flaris LAR 01 very light jet continues its progress through its flight test phase with certification on the horizon. Aimed at private owners, the LAR 01 promises direct operating costs of USD $450/hour. Powered by a single Williams FJ33-5A turbofan engine, the jet targets both operating and aerodynamic efficiency, with a glide ratio approaching that of a dedicated glider.
