About the Tarragon Aircraft TARRAGON

The Tarragon is a very light jet (VLJ) designed for owner-pilots and small charter operations, competing in the same segment as the Cessna Citation Mustang and Eclipse 500. Built by Tarragon Aircraft, the type emerged during the early 2000s VLJ boom when manufacturers sought to deliver jet performance at turboprop operating costs. With seating for four to six passengers and a range of approximately 1,200 nautical miles, the Tarragon targets short-haul business travel and air-taxi missions where speed matters more than cabin volume.

Its twin-engine configuration and relatively modest maximum takeoff weight of around 17,600 pounds place it firmly in the light category, allowing operation from shorter runways and access to reliefs airports unavailable to larger business jets. The type's operating envelope includes a maximum cruise speed near 320 knots and a service ceiling in the mid-30,000-foot range, typical for the VLJ class. While never achieving the production volumes of Cessna or Embraer competitors, the Tarragon carved out a niche among European and North American private operators seeking an economical entry point into jet ownership.
