New personal jet -OR- Industrial espionage?
Is it just me, or is there an uncanny resemblance between the Cirrus
Jet and Eclipse's Concept Jet? I realize there are only so many variations on a theme here with a single engine jet, but the choice of engine mounting and V tail on both acft struck me as a bizarre coinky- dink.

I don't think that looking at pictures in magazines of the Cirrus jet is "espionage". -Robert

Yes, and only *slightly* less goofy looking too G If that Fouga's performance is anything like the Paris Jet (remember those, kids?) I suspect even the single-engine ECJ would leave it in the dust.
