Maverick Jets initially made the LeaderJet, a small, low-cost personal jet. They used modified engines from the T-58 until it got to the MC-750 of which we do not know details at the moment.

“Maverick LeaderJet”

-In the photo we see it piloted by Bob Hoover in the same area where it is manufactured, in the Maverick Jets, Melbourne, Florida, in 2003.

-It was presented at the 2002 NBAA in Orlando, FL. In fact, the creator of the aircraft, Jim McCotter was the leader of his time when he made fly the first civilian personal jet in 1995 at an affordable cost. The LeaderJet has been renamed CruiserJet.

From Appendix A6/6: Maverick Jets began the design and construction of a lightweight, low-thrust turbojet engine for the jet aircraft it originally designed.

-It is based on the T-58. We have located a video frame in which we see this MC engine that is mentioned in the main text in an upright and inverted position, in an assembly workshop.

-A second unit is seen behind it.

-For clarity, a photograph of a Maverick aircraft model, the SmartJet, is inserted. Other models are the SoloJet, the CruiserJet, the SeaJet and the Military version.

-The T-58 is a turboshaft, generally used in helicopters but the one mentioned here is an adaptation to be used as a turbojet.

From Appendix 9: Through <Minijets.org> we are provided with a photo of the General Electric T-58 engine, a helicopter turboshaft that has been adapted to be used as a turbojet.

-In reality the company that has transformed and modified these T-58 engines seems to be "Les Shockley" (2003).

-The engine weighs 300 pounds but delivers 840 pounds of thrust. It was renamed "Shockwave 800".
