Cirrus Aircraft’s C2 has been dubbed a “personal jet” and just completed its final test flight recently. It will join Cirrus Aircraft’s other Vision SF 50 personal jets awaiting FAA testing.
“Today’s flight marks another milestone for Cirrus Aircraft and for general aviation,” said Dale Klapmeier, CEO and co-founder of Cirrus Aircraft. “What a perfect holiday gift for Cirrus Aircraft employees, owners, operators and partners around the world. Three Vision jets flying is a fleet. We are full steam ahead with our plans to revolutionize personal transportation again. The passion and dedication of the entire Cirrus Aircraft team that has brought us to this point is truly inspiring. It’s another proud day at Cirrus.”
The Vision SF50 personal jets are large enough to hold up to five adults. The flight control system is streamlined to simplify flying. It has a top cruise speed of 300 KTAS and its body is crafted entirely from carbon fiber.
Cirrus Aircraft has been test flying their personal jets since March and plans on rolling out the jets at the end of 2015. These personal jets run about $2 million.
