Development of the PiperJet Altaire has been suspended indefinitely, becoming the latest very light jet programme to end before production could begin.

Piper displayed its new PiperJet inside the convention hall. At the time it had flown 72 hours during 42 flights. A total of 203 orders have been placed.
