NASA<\/strong> has hard partnered with the general aviation industry in introducing the V-JET II, a turbofan-powered light aircraft designed for future flight testing. It was expected to revolutionize and revitalize general aviation with a safer, smoother, quieter and more affordable light aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASA<\/strong> awarded Williams International <\/strong>a 37 million dollar developmental grant to design and build such a small jet engine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Burt Rutan<\/strong>\u00a0and his\u00a0Scaled Composites<\/strong>\u00a0had been contracted to built V-JET II (in reference to the earlier version Sam Williams had introduced in the mid-80). While the overall configuration had been created by Sam Williams, it was up to Burt and his staff to do the detail design work and then execute it in the new, patent-pending composite construction method Scaled Composites has developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A the time of its first flight on\u00a0April 13,1997<\/strong>, the VJET II was powered by two\u00a0Williams International FJX-1<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0turbofan engines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
