Sovereign

This mid-size business jet first entered production in 2004 and about 300 of these planes have now entered service. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C turbofan engines and costs around $17.5m.

Its claim to fame is that it can take off and land in short distances and yet it has an impressive range that can take it coast-to-coast across the US. The available baggage space is the largest of comparable private jets and includes a closet large enough to hold full-sized garment bags.
