SJ30-2 takes a break from tests for NBAA
The Sino Swearingen SJ30-2 seven-place entry-level jet is making its debut here at NBAA ’02.

The Sino Swearingen SJ30-2 seven-place entry-level jet is making its debut here at NBAA ’02. Having arrived last Friday from the company’s San Antonio, Texas facility, the SJ30-2 will be on static display (No. 16) at Orlando Executive Airport through Thursday. Though Sino Swearingen has brought a prototype SJ30 to previous NBAA conventions, the SJ30-2 currently displayed is the first flying example of the production aircraft.

Powered by two Williams International FJ44 fanjet engines, the SJ30-2 can fly at speeds above 0.8 M and has an NBAA IFR range of 2,500 nm at 0.78 M and FL 450, sipping less than 110 gph. The SJ30-2 pressurization system maintains sea level cabin altitude to FL 410, reducing jet lag for the passengers and fatigue on the pilot. Sino Swearingen is certifying the SJ30-2 for single-pilot operations.
