Aircraft Guide 2016

Our comprehensive 2016 aircraft guide.

As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer’s delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft’s final production date is generally considered the milestone separating “newer” used business aircraft from “older” ones.

In deciding which aircraft to cover, we went well past this 10-year mark to provide ­information on all business airplanes and helicopters manufactured since 1999. This means our list includes some models built before that year, as long as they were still being produced as recently as 1999. As a rule, a long production run is indicative of a successful aircraft.
