Two flying prototypes...vaporware? Proof of concept, not prototypes. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Dan, Two flying prototypes...vaporware? Proof of concept, not prototypes. No, they are prototypes. The concept of light jets was proven decades ago so Honda isn't proving any concept with their Jet. Likewise, composite light planes are a proven concept as well so neither is Cessna proving any concept. I'll bet if they move to production the production versions will look a lot like these prototypes, thus confirming that they are prototypes. Matt

Matt I am guessing that for tax purposes, calling it a "proof of concept" is better than calling it a "prototype".

Matt,
No, they are prototypes. If you want to call them something different than Cessna, do it. Cessna calls them proof of concept. Both of them. And I've seen enough "marketing speak" to have an idea just why they might do that. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
