The PJ-II Dreamer is a two-seat, mid-wing monoplane.^[1] Propelled by ducted fans, the aircraft features a tandem seat layout with dual controls, a retractable landing gear, and a composite construction.^[2]

Details

The Dreamer aircraft uses a special type of propulsion system called a dual ducted fan. This system gives it similar handling to a jet engine but is cheaper and less complicated to operate. Unlike propeller-driven planes, it doesn't have torque or P-factor issues, which are forces that can make the aircraft harder to control.

The aircraft is powered by a single General Motors LS6 5.7-liter V8 engine, which is liquid-cooled and produces 388 horsepower. There's also an option for a more powerful 450 horsepower engine.

The Dreamer can reach a top speed of 218 mph and has a cruising speed of 187 mph. It can handle forces up to +4.4 g and as low as -2.2 g which allows the aircraft to perform some aerobatic maneuvers.
