Looks like the Ruskies aren't afraid to push the envelope on advanced aircraft design. It's a SETP with a cabin bigger than any girly Pilatus. Everyone will sit up and take notice when you roll up to the ramp with one of these. My guess is that Signature won't charge any ramp fees for this, too awesome. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/artic ... ht-413382/
