From 2018 (YouTube Edition): Stratos Jets Will Initially Be Offered As Kits

Stratos Aircraft presented an update on its VLJ program and introduced the Stratos 716 model at AirVenture this summer. The Stratos 716X is an evolution of the 714 Proof of Concept (PoC) aircraft.

The all carbon fiber 716X features trailing link gear, is powered by a Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5 and is configured with dual G3X screens, GTN 750 MFD, integrated Garmin Autopilot, dual standby attitude indicators, custom switch panels, fully automated pressurization system and air conditioning.

The Stratos 716X kit will be comprehensive and include a builder’s assist program.

The first position for the Stratos 716X has been sold and is currently in production at the company’s facility in Redmond, Oregon. Stratos Aircraft will announce the cost of the 716X kit and other program details and take orders in Q4 2018.

The Stratos 716X has a 31” longer and 3.5” wider cabin than the 714 PoC aircraft introduced at Oshkosh in 2017. The Stratos 716X is a “multi-role” VLJ designed to comfortably seat 6 people to support personal, business and air taxi use.
