All rights reserved, 1707 South Perimeter rd, #33A Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309. The VK-30, during its 5-year lifetime, was a single-engine pusher-propeller kit plane. [93], Aviation Week & Space Technology notes Cirrus has succeeded in producing the “lowest, slowest and least expensive” jet and noted that high-lift airfoils emphasize low-speed performance over top-end speed with a turboprop-like VMO of 250 kn (463 km/h) IAS or a 0.53 MMO and a FL280 ceiling. For emergency use it has a whole-aircraft ballistic parachute system. [6][7] Cirrus announced the marketing name of "Vision SJ50" on 9 July 2008.
[93] The sale to CAIGA was completed as a merger of the two companies on 28 June 2011. The SR22 became the world's best-selling general aviation aircraft. An additional manufacturing facility, which produces the composite components for the planes, is located in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
Since its original launch in 2001, the SR22 has released seven follow-up re-releases. [20][11], On 6 May 2015 Cirrus announced that it will establish a new facility campus called the "Vision Center" in Knoxville, Tennessee on the city's McGhee Tyson Airport. [96] [72] By July 2017, seven customer aircraft had been delivered and one per week were being produced.
[85] The SF50 is designed for a life limit of 12,000 flight hours. It was structurally like the Cirrus VK-30, however with a redesigned engine. The Cirrus Design Corporation, doing business as Cirrus Aircraft, is an aircraft manufacturer that was founded in 1984 by Alan and Dale Klapmeier to produce the VK-30 kit aircraft. [49] On 24 March 2014, the first conforming prototype flew. Cirrus Aircraft indicated at the time of the announcement that this was expected as Arcapita was considered a medium-term investor. [6][7][8], Sales of the SR-series grew rapidly during the 2000s, until the economic crisis of 2008. This is because it is innovative, original, and long-lasting. Our outlook is still positive. [103], The screws securing the potentiometer shaft to the AoA vane shaft were not properly torqued, and by May 2019, the fleet of over 100 had been returned to service. The test flying program resulted in the US Federal Aviation Administration awarding a type certificate on 28 October 2016. [27], On 1 August 2009, Cirrus Aircraft CEO Brent Wouters announced that Alan Klapmeier's contract as chairman would not be renewed when it expired at the end of that month. The SRS was only produced and promoted from 2007 until the global financial crisis in 2009. The stall speed at MTOW with landing gear and flaps down is 67 kn (124 km/h) IAS, while the Vso is 64 kn (119 km/h) IAS at the 5,550 lb (2,520 kg) max landing weight, with Vref at 83 kn (154 km/h) IAS or lower, similar to an SR22. We are excited to announce our first company tour for the 2019-2020 school year! The Cirrus Design Corporation, doing business as Cirrus Aircraft (formally Cirrus Design),[3] is an aircraft manufacturer that was founded in 1984 by Alan and Dale Klapmeier to produce the VK-30 kit aircraft. It was structurally like the Cirrus VK-30, however with a redesigned engine. These are: The Cirrus SR Sport, also known as the Cirrus SRS, was a modified version of the B&F Fk14 Polaris. The Vision Jet is an innovator in every sense of the word. For one, it debuted a larger wingspan and fuel tank and an all-new 310-horsepower (230 kW) piston engine. [64], On 28 October, after a ten-year development process marked with myriad technical and financial challenges, the SF50 earned its type certificate from the FAA. The company was founded by Alan and Dale Klapmeier in the mid-1980s in Duluth, Minnesota. [46] In October 2013, three test aircraft were under construction, the first deliveries were scheduled for 2015 and the order book now held 500 deposits. Cabin pressurization is raised from 6.4 to 7.1 psi (0.44 to 0.49 bar) and improved insulation cuts cabin noise by 3 dB. It featured a quirky design that appeared dissimilar to most other aircraft on the market at the time. Our first tour will be at Cirrus Aircraft. If you are one of the lucky few who managed to get a hold of one, we envy you. There are several important upgrades that the SR22 made in response to its predecessor. Given its economical design, it is also the cheapest and smallest jet aircraft on the market today. [110][111], Aircraft of comparable role, configuration, and era, "Cirrus Aircraft Launches VisionAir Ownership Program", "Report: Cirrus Ready To Move Ahead With Jet", "Cirrus Updates Jet Program, Shows Pictures", "Type Certificate Data Sheet No. The 189,000-square-foot (17,600 m2) building was to be used for construction of its new Cirrus Jet. The aircraft was manufactured following a contract between Israeli aircraft maker IsrAviation and Cirrus Aircraft. Klapmeier also expressed disappointment in the political issues raised, particularly by Cravaack. This has since been cancelled. But beyond that, the SR20’s specs speak a thousand words. [33] On 2 September, Cirrus announced its price: US$1.39M for deposit holders, equipped similar to a Cirrus SR22 GTS, US$1.55M with a US$100,000 deposit before the end of the year, and US$1.72M after that, with a US$50,000 deposit. As a composite aircraft, the SR22 is made of several metallic components and alloys.
[15] Starting at this time it became described as a "personal jet". The design is made entirely of composite material, a first for a production jet. [66], The first customer Vision SF50 was delivered on 19 December 2016, against 600 outstanding orders.
The SR22T is powered by a Continental TSIO-550-K turbocharged engine. It expands beyond our walls and includes our team, partners, owners,… The only way for a good dog to travel. [89], In July 2008, SATSair, an air taxi company that was 25% owned by Cirrus, ordered five Cirrus Vision SF50s, intending to add them to its fleet of Cirrus SR22 piston aircraft. [40] After a few years in the design phase, the brothers borrowed money to move the project to their own factory on the Baraboo–Wisconsin Dells Airport, where they began flight testing.
In mid-March 2011, aviation industry analyst Brian Foley indicated that he was trying to organize a group of US investors to make a counter-offer to the Chinese buy-out to keep Cirrus as a US-owned company. [9] Since its market introduction in December 2016, it is commonly referred to as the "Vision Jet". [105], On January 8, 2019, the improved G2 was announced, adding RVSM allowing a ceiling of 31,000 ft (9,400 m) and improving range to over 1,200 nmi (2,200 km), or allowing 150 lb (68 kg) more payload over 800 nmi (1,500 km). [12][13], The company produces all of its aircraft with composite materials and is known for pioneering new technologies in light general aviation aircraft manufacturing, including glass cockpits and full-airframe ballistic parachutes. Upgrading from a single-engine piston aircraft meant either a piston twin, like the Beechcraft Baron or Piper Seneca; a Piper Meridian, SOCATA TBM or Pilatus PC-12 high-performance single-engine turboprops; or a very light jet. Compared to the industry average in that same period sales were down 16%.
