Cirrus Jet

[mzaharis]

According to AIN Alerts, Cirrus is about to announce a single-engine "personal jet". Under 1 mil, 25,000 ceiling, 1,000NM range, 300KTAS cruise. Sounds like their competitor to Diamond's D-Jet. Should be interesting to see if they can keep to those numbers.

"The Duluth, Minn., company said the all-composite CirrusJet will be outfitted with an emergency ballistic parachute recovery system from BRS, which also supplies a similar system for Cirrus SR20 and SR22 piston singles."

Another micro-jet? I'm gonna need trading cards to keep them all straight.

I got a package in the mail from Cirrus. It contained a bunch of information on "the-jet" and a very nice metel coaster. I was actually kinda suprised I got that. Should be very exciting to see!

I'm waiting for Piper to unvail their jet later this month.

The Super Super Cub?

The Super Super Cub?

No, the HondaJet. To be somehow built/sold/supervised by Piper and its dealer network. We'll see how it goes, but they're saying 4 years before certification. Too long for my flight dept.

Piper is also rumored to be announcing a VLJ smaller than the 3-4 million Hondajet.

Who cares about Cirrus... Piper Jet is the the real deal...

Pilots will have to have significant experience to purchase the jet though unlike the there piston aircraft, at least 150hrs total time........

Did I say that out load?

From a layman's point of view with a high school education something looks wrong about the CirrusJet....the CG.

They've taken a heavy piston powerplant out of the very front of the plane an replaced it with a somewhat lighter (I assume) turbine at the back. That's a HUGE shift in CG with seemingly no change in proportions.

I am not suggesting that Cirrus has taken this into account, merely that it would be a consideration if I were doodeling (sp?) on a napkin.
