Cirrus Aircraft’s newly named SF50 aims for simplicity and ease of use. First flight was in July 2008. As of September 2010, the jet has 500 hours on the single-engine, Williams F33-powered, V-tail aircraft. It will carry on the Cirrus tradition of a standard airframe parachute and side yoke controls. The SF50 aims at a 300-knot cruise, 1,000-nm range, and 28,000-foot ceiling and will be available with 5+2 seating. Its avionics suite will be the Garmin 3000 system. Cirrus also designed the plane for approach speeds similar to its current fleet of piston SR22s and to fit in a standard 40-foot hangar.
