SyberJet Aircraft Breaks Light Jet Transcontinental East-to-West Speed Record

SyberJet Aircraft says its SJ30-2 has set an unofficial east-to-west transcontinental speed record in the C-1.f class. The company reports a nonstop flight from Jacksonville, Florida to San Diego, California in about 4 hours and 7 minutes at an average speed of 505.3 mph. The record reportedly breaks the prior 339.4 mph mark set by the Embraer Phenom 300 in 2013 by a wide margin. The crew included pilot Gordon “Gordy” Bryan with SyberJet CEO Trevor Milton onboard. SyberJet expects official certification from the National Aeronautic Association and the Federation Aeronautique Internationale to take about 90 days. The aircraft will be displayed at NBAA-BACE 2026 at Henderson Executive Airport.
