I had visions of a seat belt that somehow doubled as a toilet. Okay for number 1 I guess but I was struggling with how they were going to manage number 2.

In a plane that small, it’s going to be bouncing all over the sky even in relatively mild weather, and the ass-end of any aircraft is always more active than the front, so that rear lavatory most likely *needs* that seat belt.

And it won’t need a separate bidet, because the aircraft motion will provide plenty of splashing action.

I am a bit fan of Mitsubishi’s MU-2. Not an easy plane to manage. Really should have been certified for two person operation.

...

I’ve read that it’s as safe as any other plane if the pilot gets proper training.

Otherwise, it’s got a bad reputation for crashing.

The original HondaJet seems to be having a problem rolling off of runways.

It has no thrust reversers.

The single engine turboprop Socata TBM has an optional potty for those exhibitionists.

You have to be way out in front of a MU-2. Cockpit gets real busy and the CDI can slip right by at fast speeds. Slow speeds and it gets tippy fast. Worse than the Cesna 421 Golden Eagle.

Add catering, hauling bags, arranging ground transportation, and getting the $hitter emptied and the world gets too busy.

Some people need a seatbelt on their bar stool.

It may be busy aircraft, but the safety has been greatly improved with training.

“A short range private jet with only a 1,400 nautical mile range.”

That’s extremely LONG range for a jet less than $10 million.

A $3-5 million Cessna with full passengers has a typical range of less than 700 nautical miles, a few less than 600.

BTW the wing is VERY unique. The top skin is milled from a single piece of aluminum - no rivets or bending...

I met the guy who designed the engine pylon maybe 12+ years ago. He made a bundle on that design.

That would necessitate actually SITTING on the toilet. I don’t THINK so! (I had 2 cousins who used to be flight attendants. They both said planes were disgustingly filthy. And that’s BESIDES the dirt you can see. NEVER use an airplane pillow. (Or a hospital pillow, for that matter).
