The Aerostar aircraft has been converted into a jet, featuring wing-mounted Pratt & Whitney PW615 engines.
This transformation necessitated significant wing remanufacturing and includes features like bleed air heated engine inlets and deicing boots for the wings.
Future plans for the Aerostar jet involve a potential fuselage stretch to add seating or a lavatory, and the integration of advanced avionics solutions.
**The engines, Pratt & Whitney PW615s, are wing mounted, which required remanufacturing the section of the wing where the nacelles had been. The engine inlets are bleed air heated; the wings will be deiced with boots. **Robert GoyerWith its engines mounted on the wing, a configuration that is not common in business jets, the Aerostar Jet reminds many of the late WWII Messerschmitt 262 jet.Robert Goyer**Down the road the jet will likely get a stretch of a few feet, giving it room for two extra seats or a hard sided lav, two features that will help attract customers and differentiate it from competitors. **Robert Goyer**Aerostar is looking for integrated avionics solutions, which is always a key feature on conversion products and, as is the case with the Aerostar jet, sometimes a requirement to display engine gauges. **Robert Goyer**An Aerostar throttle quadrant unlike any other in the world. **Robert Goyer
