Aircraft comparison
Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 vs HondaJet HA-420 vs Embraer Phenom 100EV vs Eclipse 550
The same figures as our ownership cost guides, side by side: cabin and performance first, then what each aircraft costs to own and fly.

Ownership and operating cost
Fixed costs are what the aircraft costs before it moves: crew, hangar, insurance, management. Variable costs are charged by the hour flown. CRAFT's own estimates, built the same way for every aircraft from public inputs; the real figures depend on how and where you fly.
No estimate for the Embraer Phenom 100EV yet. No fuel burn we can cite: the manufacturer publishes no average and Conklin & de Decker's published averages don't list it. We leave it blank rather than guess.
No estimate for the Eclipse 550 yet. Eclipse publishes only a cruise fuel flow (59 gallons an hour), which understates a whole flight, and Conklin & de Decker's published averages don't list the 550. We leave it blank rather than guess.
