Meet ViperJet
Viper Aircraft's ViperJet packages two tandem seats beneath a canopy in a low-wing jet design. Side-mounted intakes feed the engine, and the landing gear retracts into the airframe. Composite construction is used throughout. The Aerobask ViperJet EX represents its own simulator version, with product features linked directly to the developer.
