Cirrus has announced that its VLJ – which flew for the first time at the end of last week – will be named the Cirrus SJ50 Vision. Until now, it had been known as ‘the-jet’.
Cirrus CEO, Alan Klapmeier, said “With the Cirrus Vision we are providing an entirely new transportation option for personal and business travel. It is a smarter, simpler and more efficient way to travel and holds the unique promise of redefining general aviation.”
The single-engine aircraft has a unique V-tail configuration and carries a ballistic recovery parachute.
