Default Minimum age to fly turbine aircraft?

I've looked all over part 61, but could not find anything, is there an
age restriction?
For some reason I recall that there was one...
Just wondering...

Student pilots under CFI supervision can fly anything that
doesn't require two pilots, so a turboprop [ and maybe even
some jets] is possible [61.89].
61.101 says no more than 180 hp for a Recreational pilot.
The new Sport Pilot is limited to fixed pitch prop and
piston engine, no twins.

Hmmm... a student pilot in the left seat of a Citation CJ1?

Bill Gates could afford to do it, the USAF and NAVY do it.

Damn...That discriminates against the Cri Cri and if any plane is
light and small enough to qualify it's that one.
