The narrow body of current biz jets will a thing of the past as the 6X’s cabin will stretch 2.58m across and just short of 2m headroom. Natural light will infuse the interior through 30 extra-large windows and a galley skylight—the first in business aviation.
Design work began in 2006 under the codename SMS for super mid-size, and was envisioned to compete with the Hawker 4000, the Bombardier Challenger 300 and the Gulfstream G200 or the Embraer Legacy 600 with a 3 400 nmi (6 297 km) range. Few details have been published except that the model will be powered by two P&W engines.
The project was revamped after the 2008 recession when demand for super mid-sized and smaller aircraft decreased significantly, while demand for the large-cabin, long-range models remained high. In 2009, the design was re-evaluated and the engine choice was reassessed.
