The flight, piloted by Gordon "Gordy" Bryan with SyberJet CEO Trevor Milton aboard, decisively breaks the existing record of 339.4 mph set by the Embraer Phenom 300 in 2013. Official certification from the National Aeronautic Association and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale is expected to take approximately 90 days. "The results are fantastic," said Trevor Milton, CEO of SyberJet Aircraft. "I want to thank Gordy, the mechanics, the employees and all the supporters that watched the journey. This is exactly the kind of moment that can't be disputed and cements the legacy of SyberJet as the fastest and farthest flying light jet in the world." The SJ30-2 is SyberJet's FAA-certified aircraft and the platform on which the company's next generation aircraft, the SJ36, is being developed. The record-setting SJ30-2 will be on display at NBAA-BACE 2026's Aircraft Connection at Henderson Executive Airport in space AC-03.
