We are proud that today, after 30 years of dedication, the Cirrus brand is associated with these accolades and hallmarks that mean so much to us. Our line of all-composite personal aircraft-–the SR20, SR22 and turbocharged SR22T–lives up to this by incorporating advanced electronic and standard safety technologies including Cirrus Perspective by Garmin avionics and the unique Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®).
Our latest aircraft, the Vision Jet, raises the bar even higher as it ushers in a new era in personal transportation and introduces the world to “the personal jet.”
