Compared to a CRJ it is slow as hell but only up at cruise and not by a whole lot, maybe 50 knots or so indicated. That is a lot of course but once we hit 10k in the terminal environment there is nothing a jet can do that the Q cant.
For a jet it is very slow but it is also nearly 60+ knots faster than most competing props.
I think we can pass the citation 1 and 2...thats gotta be worth something right?
