Aircraft
At Valor 'K we take the effort out of finding the Time Machine that's right for you.
We put our name to the aircraft we recommend. Our specialists continuously review the aircraft in each category to ensure they are the best value for the investment required. At Valor 'K, before we recommend an aircraft for you, many aspects will have been considered and weighed up in our determination.
These will include the aircraft's: Safety record, suitability to Australia and its other geographical areas of operation, maintenance requirements/costs, parts availability and ability to be maintained in this segment of the world, fuel burn and cost, payload capability, maximum passengers with maximum fuel load and maximum range with maximum passengers.
The information we source for this purpose is provided by the manufacturer, our experience and third-party providers, allowing us to be as unbiased as possible.
The aircraft we recommend are divided into the categories below; light, medium, super-mid and ultra-long-range, depending on their cabin size and range.
Medium Aircraft
This category of aircraft is best suited to;
-
Flying predominantly Australia wide
-
Flying to New Zealand or Southern Asia a few times per year
-
8 or fewer passengers onboard
In this category, we recommend the Phenom 300E for its unparalleled economics, avionics, performance, the largest cabin in this class and cabin quality.
The Phenom 300E has been awarded the best selling aircraft in this category nine years in a row, which is quite an achievement in this market segment.
Super Mid Aircraft
This category of aircraft is best suited to;
-
Flying predominantly throughout Australasia
-
Flying internationally, other than long overwater flights
-
12 or fewer passengers onboard
In this category, we recommend Dassault's Falcon 2000LXS and Embraer's Praetor 600.
Dassault's Falcon 2000LXS provides unparalleled performance, with a large, modern cabin for ten passengers.
The Embraer Praetor 600 boasts excellent economics, advanced avionics, improved safety, outstanding performance and a modern interior for eight passengers.
Ultra Long Range Aircraft
This category of aircraft is best suited to;
-
Worldwide operations
-
Flying internationally more than three times per year
-
14 or fewer passengers onboard
In this category, we recommend Dassault's Falcon 7X, 8X & 10X.
The 7X and 8X, with their tri-engine configuration, provide unparalleled safety and redundancy for long overwater journeys, coupled with class-leading performance. Both aircraft can seat up to 14 passengers and can access even the trickiest of runways worldwide. Dassault Falcon is the industry leader in design, performance and technology across all aircraft in this regard. After all, they also make frontline fighter aircraft.
The 10X is a clean-sheet aircraft in the design stage currently. This aircraft will be the pinnacle of business aviation, with the largest, most spacious and modern cabin, flying further and faster than any other aircraft in this category. Engineered with the latest Rolls Royce engines and aerodynamic design principles, this Falcon provides excellent operating economics and 7500nm worth of range.
