Thank you Kenneth.

Sort looks like a high-singed version of (abortive) Learfan.
That 32 foot wing-span means that it will fit into the same hangars as light, single-engined Cessnas, but cruise speed and cruise altitudes mean that it directly competes with older, straight-wing Cessna Citations.
We wonder why they offered an operational ceiling above 30,000 feet without a pressurized cabin???????

That's right Riggerrob.

I can; here’s a photo of the Aerofan SingleTwin in its current state. It still exists, in a hangar at Oxnard Airport in California, registered N300LR. I am not sure what the owner plans to do with it.
