Yeah, the whole very light jet (VLJ) thing sort of faltered. There was Eclipse, Piper Altaire, Diamond D-Jet, HondaJet, Adam A700, etc.

Most of them were shelved, only the HondaJet is still being produced (in small numbers).

As they say: The way to make a small fortune in aviation is to start with a big one.

Cirrus just certified the SF-50 Vision, a new single-engine VLJ.

Cessna doesn't call it this, but the Mustang is pretty close to VLJ sizes. (Not many being made though, as their M2 pretty much took over that space of the market.) The Embraer Phenom 100 is similar. Both have been reasonably successful.
