Derived from municipal waste, Sustainable Aviation Fuel can replace traditional jet fuel, but with 1/5th the carbon emissions.

The rigorous program tests everything from how the G700 handles -40 degree weather, to its new Rolls-Royce engines to the lavish cabin.

Sharing the common theme of innovation, here are the most noteworthy aircraft from aviation’s pioneering days through today’s advanced business jets.

These jets offer a slew of cool features, from king-size bedrooms and chef-ready galleys to in-air connectivity that will rival any office.

The hacks range from simple design tweaks like repositioning panels in the cabin’s center, all the way to a virtual environment as sophisticated as a Hollywood movie.

Cirrus and Gulfstream are the only manufacturers with full concierge programs, mostly because it makes business sense.

Unlike commercial airliners focusing on small gains in efficiency, developing business jets is about “speed, safety and security,” says one veteran test pilot. In other words, pushing the design envelope.

Aircraft design soared even higher this year. Plus: Rapid innovation in the eVTOL world.

It’s the smart and often hidden details across the interior.
