Grob G180 SPn

The Grob model G180, marketed as SPn utility jet, is a small bizjet that looks a bit like the Cessna Citation Excel, but then with a slightly swept wing, winglets and cockpit windows similar to the HondaJet. Only a couple were built. (top photo: Juergen Lehle/WikiMedia)

The configuration of the Grob G180 is mostly similar to that of the Citation Excel series, in particular the tail. However, the Citation Excel is somewhat larger, has straight wings, often without winglets, ventral fins and six instead of two cockpit windows.

You might mistake the HondaJet for a G180 due to the similarity in cockpit windows. However, for the rest they are totally different: the Honda has engines mounted on top of the wings, not to the side of the rear fuselage, and a T-tail instead of a criciform tail.

At first the Learfan looks quite like a G180, in particular the front, but with a Y-shaped tail and a propeller at the rear. Also the Learfan has no winglets.
