Beast One	Aero	Metric	Imperial
Stall speed	57kt	105km/h	64mph

*Vno limited to 250kt (due to VFR limitations). Higher speeds are permitted by the wing design, but turbulence can lead to G-forces in excess of 4G.

Gentle stall characteristics

Not only is the stall speed rather low (comparable to faster piston aircraft) but also very progressive. This leads to a gentle stall characteristic, with lots of reaction time left to counteract.
Optimized airfoil

While the airfoils are quite similar to the 64-215 (wing root), 63-315 (aileron area) and 63-012 (tail), they are a complete evolution, developed using the latest technologies. This provides up to +30% more lift at equal or less drag!
Sophisticated wing design

Everything from profile, sweep, incidence, etc. is continuously changing over the almost elliptic wingform, ensuring top of the edge performance from landing speed up to high cruise.
Trailing link landing gear

The landing gear is provided with trailing links, featuring shocks with extra large stroke. These enable soft-field capability and greatly improve landing behavior, even for hard landings. Additionally, the brakes are 1/3 stronger than the competition, greatly improving safety and landing roll.
Jet integration

The integrated engine design allows for reduced cruise drag and therefore extended range.
Airbrakes

Most jet aircraft have the problem of shedding excess speed during descent. With the intgrated airbrakes it is possible to have steeper descends and shorter landing rolls.

>26G safety cell

Even with the best passive safety features and a parachute in place, you will not want to miss the added safety of a cockpit which will not just fold around you. Exceeding the 26G load requirement for frontal crashes and providing an itegrated roll-over bar, the cockpit is built to protect.
13.5G ultimate load

For aerobatics, it is nice to have a true 6G capability, but even nicer to know that your aircraft will sustain 9G for short durations and that the spar is constructed to only fail above a brethtaking 13.5G.

Ballistic rescue system

Sometimes avoiding confrontation is the best solution. And sometimes, if confrontation comes in form of a mountainside or uneven terrain, a ballistic rescue system will prove it's additional weight is worth every pound.
Bullet proof tank

In the unlikely event that you end up in a situation where everything else has failed you, it will be a great relief to know that all the fuel is stored in a bullet proof bladder inside the safety cell. Right where it belongs and nowhere else.

Hands-on cockpit design

Fighter pilots know the concept of "HOTAS" (hands on throttle and stick). Everything in the cockpit is assembled in a way that you never have to let go of control. Essential for mission buttons are all located to the left, non-essential buttons in the middle and the right side free for the backup instruments.
Minimized workload

Flying a jet is hard enough, so let the aircraft help you whereever possible. Flaps have auto-retract to take stress out of take-offs. The landing lights will turn into wig-wag mode as long as you fly above 100kt and airbrake activation or TOGA-mode can be selcted from the thrust lever.
Specialized bucket seat

Seats in an aircraft have to meet a lot of demands. The special combination of different memory-foams is not only providing good comfort on longer journeys, but also provide a part of the energy absorption in case of a crash.
Widest in class cockpit

Cross section is a huge contributor to aircraft drag. The elliptic fuselage is providing increased space right where it is needed at the head and elbow area, without adding additional surface area.
