Jetcruzer
The AASI Jetcruzer was an American single-engine turboprop light civil transport aircraft developed by Advanced Aerodynamics and Structures Inc. (AASI). The Jetcruzer had an unusual configuration, with a single turboprop engine driving a pusher propeller, a prominent canard, and fins mounted at the ends of its swept wings. The aircraft had seating for up to six people including the pilot. The Jetcruzer 450 became the first aircraft to receive FAA certification as spin-resistant on 14 June 1994, reflecting the application of newly developed spin-resistance criteria.
