A major success for GE was his guiding the design and development of the huge high-bypass turbofan jet engines ( or simply called " fanjets " ) that now power the largest commercial and military cargo aircraft . These include the CFM56.

The "'Orlando-McCoy Jetport "'opened in 1964, with Delta Air Lines being the first airline to offer jet passenger service to the new Orlando-McCoy Jetport with Delta's DC-8'fanjet '.

Both aircraft feature the company's revolutionary fibeX composite material technology, resulting in empty weights that are about 40 % less than comparably sized aluminum aircraft . The light weight combined with efficient next-generation fanjet engines allows significant reduction in fuel consumption and emission of green-house gasses.

In 2006, the base MKII kit cost US $ 182, 000, but since builders can purchase additional components already pre-made by Viper Aircraft, customers spent an average of $ 350, 000 on their kits . provides builder assistance for the ViperJet MKII, ViperJet LXR and Viper FanJet.

In Piper's catalog from 1984to 1993 ( although the 41st and last 400LS built, N313PC, was built in 1989 ), it was designed to compete with smaller fanjets, having performance comparable to jets like the Cessna Citation with a roomier cabin and significantly lower fuel consumption, especially at lower altitudes.

Perhaps Wallace's most daring late-career venture was the first Cessna business jet, the Cessna FanJet 500, soon renamed Model 23 was ( like most contemporary business jets ) 150 mph faster, carrying more passengers, farther though also more expensive, more difficult to fly, and requiring longer runways.

The Royal Thai Air Force used the FT400 and FT600 versions to train ab initio pilots who then went on to fly the Northrop F-5E fighter aircraft . In conjunction with the intended new production of the Fantrainer, initiated by the Fanjet Aviation GmbH in Germany, the Fantrainer 600 was renamed as " Fanjet 600 ".

The "'turbofan "'or "'fanjet "'is a type of airbreathing jet engine that is widely used in jet thrust relative to fan thrust are known as " low-bypass turbofans ", conversely those that have considerably more fan thrust than jet thrust are known as " high-bypass ".
