Playing a little loose with the jet categories, I made this fictional FG aircraft back in 2012 as a melding of the twin piston/prop, 8 passenger Cessna 421 with the Cessna T37 dragonfly or Tweet military trainer.
It's a rough field, STOL, 10 passenger jet for excursions to airfields and rough landing areas in out of the way places. It features two Garret TFE-751-D high bypass small turbofans, with part of the bypass air flow used for blown flap lift devices on the wing's flaps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blown_flap.
The Garret turbofans have a long record of reliability and ease of maintenance in the most primitive of conditions, and are, because of the high bypass ratio, fairly quiet. Also having the engines buried in the wing roots helps to keep the lateral center of gravity small in rotational mass which gives it a very responsive roll rate at approach speeds. This aircraft was born to fly in and out of tricky mountain passages and approaches.
The blown flaps add greatly to it's ability to land and launch it's maximum take-off weight to and from some of the most absurdly short and rough airfields imaginable.
It is equipped with a very strong and lightweight set of long clearance, length and suspension travel landing gear that will soak up much of the rough ground it may encounter. Pressurized to fly up to it's ceiling at 34,000, with generous passenger seating and internal storage bays for expeditions and hiking groups, the seats can be easily removed to convert to a small freight hauler.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

And here's the link to it, http://www.mediafire.com/download/t5h69 ... -tweet.zip
Since it's made and borrows from Helijah's 421 and the Cessna Citation 550 Bravo, it's most certainly GPLv2.

Re: Cessna 428: the Peep Tweet, an adventure funjet
Oh yeah a small mistake I posted on the spec's. It's actually an 8 passenger capacity, including the pilot/co-pilots, with a jump seat opposite of the entrance door on the left which makes it a 9 passenger in a pinch. But it takes away some of the floor storage area with the jump seat out.
I'm also planning to integrate the citation 550 Bravo's engine start controls, warning light panel, and ECP group into a overhead panel when I get the roundtuit.

Re: Cessna 428: the Peep Tweet, an adventure funjet
It's highly fictional, I mean Pilatus is making a real Bush capable 12 passeneger jet right now. This is a 'what if' concept for a 1970's experimental jet. Consider it a bush capable mini Biz-Jet.
Re: Cessna 428: the Peep Tweet, an adventure funjet
I love your design of the wing-embedded jet engines. Certainly companies might look at your design for planning a cool looking VLJ
