context_page_description: A very light jet, entry-level jet or personal jet, previously known as a microjet, is a category of small business jets seating four to eight people and often with a maximum takeoff weight of or under 10,000 pounds, although the Embraer Phenom 100, HondaJet and Cessna Citation M2 are all slightly over.
