Controlling your own flight for a business trip abroad – now that’s Flying 2.0!
The Cirrus Vision SF50 is one of our most exciting projects. With all the forward motion, we don’t want you to miss a moment of this historic aircraft’s development.
Today we went live with our first Cirrus Vision online video update, available for viewing on our YouTube channel. Watch Paul Brey (VP, Product Development) and Dave Rathbun (Chief Engineer) literally walk you around the V1 test jet and show off the latest progress. After Paul and Dave, Chief Test Pilot Mike Stevens goes into detail about flying the Vision and just how similar it is in many ways to flying an SR22.
We’re sure you’ll enjoy watching it as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together!
Inside Cirrus – our premiere road show – is flying farther and wider than ever before. Watch this space for updates from our team as they travel through Latin and South America over the next several months meeting aviators and Cirrus fans.

In response to a letter by Congressman Chip Cravaack sent to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on March 25th, 2011, indicating concern for the Cirrus Aircraft/CAIGA merger, please click below for the full text of a letter today from Cirrus Aircraft President and CEO Brent Wouters to Rep. Cravaack and several of his Congressional colleagues.
Thanks to the jet stream and the Cirrus SR22T's ability to find it, the speed record between Ontario, Calif., and Phoenix was shattered in late December by Airshares Elite pilot Justin Beitler. The Cirrus caught a big kick from the shift in the jet stream to average 271.2 knots on the trip (normal cruise is about 170). The previous record was 207 knots in a Mooney M20K set by Lee White and Larry Randlett in 2000. "The XM weather system helped me find the best winds, and the efficient turbocharged engine allowed me to cruise on less than 17 gallons per hour at over 270 knots," said Beitler. "At that speed, our offices in L.A. and Phoenix are only an hour and eleven minutes apart." SEE MORE
