 | | JETCRUZER 500. Pressurized version of the 450. It is powered by a single PT6A-66A turboprop engine. Besides the standard corporate configuration, the aircraft was also marketed in cargo, medical evacuation, and military patrol configurations. |
 | | JETCRUZER 500. AASI converted the two JETCRUZER 450 preproduction prototypes to the 500 configuration. The initial flight of the first modified 500 prototype was made in August 1997. This aircraft was later retired. Flight testing continued with the second modified 500 prototype. |
 | | Although the 500 program may not be completely terminated, the aircraft is unlikely to ever be produced. The 500 had a number of strong selling points, including its low purchase price, low operating costs, and impressive fuel consumption. Order rates had slowed considerably, though, since 1998. |
