Cirrus SR20, SR22, & SR22T
Specs, Operating Costs & Information
Cirrus began pushing the boundaries of a stagnant industry in 1984 with innovative designs for the future of personal piston and jet aircraft. In 1995 Cirrus released the SR20 – a 4 seat, low wing single engine aircraft that was designed to mimic the comfort of a luxury sedan.
The SR20 was modified in 2000 to create the high performance SR22 with a larger wing, larger fuel tank and substantially higher performance. Since 2002 the SR22 has held the record for top selling production aircraft in general aviation. Cirrus has attributed much of its success to industry leading safety features including the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Today, variants of the popular airplane are the entry-level SR20, the high performance SR22 and a turbocharged version called the SR22T.
