Kit-built aircraft maker Sonex LLC said it is accepting deposits for its SubSonex JSX-2T, a two-place amateur-built personal jet.

The new airplane is a development of the single-seat SubSonex JSX-2 that has been flying since 2014, and is meant in part to serve as a trainer for that model and other jets. Indeed, the company says it designed the JSX-2T to be “the lowest cost jet trainer ever.”
