There are three varieties of EFBs recognized by aviation regulators including Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3.

Paradigm shift may well be two of the most overused terms in contemporary U.S. business-speak. But in the case of the A700 Adamjet, as well as with other twin turbofan business jets due for entry into service in 2006 and beyond, the phrase is most appropriate. Adam Aircraft claims that for about $2 million in current year dollars, its Adam 700 will deliver a 340-knot maximum cruise speed, a 41,000-foot maximum operating altitude and a four-occupant NBAA IFR range of 1,100 miles. The A700 is targeted at folks who prefer to buy new rather than used aircraft, so one can forget the competition from all those similarly priced used light jets flooding the market these days.
