it will make in intervals longer as the aircraft matures and plans to eventually offer a phase inspection similar to other
jet manufacturers.
Final Thoughts
Like with any new jet, there are a few issues to work out. One is the noise level in the all-composite aircraft. In the climb, the noise from the engine and air conditioning condenser is too loud for this level of aircraft. In cruise, it is more tolerable with noise canceling headsets, but still could be better. Cirrus said it is actively working on the issue and hopes to have a solution soon.
With the Vision Jet, Cirrus knew exactly what they were building and who they were building it for. Its established, loyal customer base loves their planes because they deliver speed, performance, comfort, safety and technology – and it does it with style. Cirrus style. The Vision Jet is an extension of that philosophy, and with 600 orders on the books (mostly current Cirrus owners), it appears they have created a winner. Thanks to the Vision Jet’s 38.7-foot wingspan – the SR22 is 38 feet – owners will be able to pull their SR out of the hangar and slide in their new Vision Jet into the same footprint.
But you don’t have to•be a previous Cirrus disciple to covet a Vision Jet. Thanks to its simplicity, spacious cabin and fun flying characteristics, it is on its way to being a popular choice for owner-pilots, especially those moving to a turbofan for the first time. T&T
Below the jet’s ruddervator tail is the aircraft’s yaw stability augmentation system that comprises of two small surfaces on the aft end of the strakes. From the runway to 200 feet AGL, the surfaces automatically provide provides a “weak” yaw damp. After 200 feet, the yaw damp kicks in with more force.
Trailing link landing gear make for smooth landings and better controllability in crosswinds.
