At maximum takeoff weight from a sea-level airport, the XLS climbs directly to 43,000 feet in just 20 minutes, quicker than any other jet in its class. Not only can you travel in the comfort of a midsize and at speeds of nearly 500 mph, but you can also get out of airfields as short as 3,590 feet at maximum takeoff weight. It really is the best of serveral very real worlds rolled into one Sure Thing.
