Nick,


Thank you for responding to my question. Now please consider my
response.

The BA609 shown with a 750 NM range is configured for executive
transport. It has sound proofing, thermal insulation, reclining
leather seats, mini bar, entertainment centers, full cabin
airconditioning and heating. It also limits its vertical take off load

to meet FAA Cat A performance for operating in congested urban areas.

For goverment and special civil operations outside congested areas
(ships and oil platforms) the BA609 will be able strip the glitter and
operate under Cat B restrictions. This will allow it to operate from a
hover to meet the 1,000 NM stated range. Currently the limiting factor
on BA609 higher load is the landing gear not power.

Does this clear up the picture for you?

Nick, you stated "...the reason why folks buy our machines" So who do
you work for?

Take care,
