\"visionCirrus Aircraft has announced the launch of the next generation of the Vision JetTM \u2013 \u2018G2\u2019 \u2013 enhancing performance, comfort and safety for the world\u2019s first single-engine Personal JetTM. Increases in cruise altitude, speed and range join the newly-upgraded Perspective Touch+TM by Garmin\u00ae flight deck. Innovative technologies unique to G2 include a category-first Autothrottle, Flight Stream connectivity and more. Enhancing the passenger experience, new executive seats, thoughtfully-engineered noise reduction and a passenger productivity console highlight numerous G2 cabin upgrades.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cirrus Aircraft story is one of relentless innovation,\u201d said Pat Waddick, President, Innovation & Operations. \u201cMuch like the last twenty years of re-imagining the SR Series with constant improvements to performance, safety and comfort, the G2 Vision Jet is the culmination of that same spirit of innovation. This aircraft is yet another game-changer in personal aviation and it\u2019s made possible by the world-class team we have at Cirrus Aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n

Higher, Faster and Farther<\/p>\n

The G2 Vision Jet goes higher, faster and farther. An expanded flight envelope to Flight Level 310 (31,000 ft) raises the performance and capabilities of the all new aircraft. This new access to Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) flight levels now increases the Vision Jet\u2019s range to over 1,200nm. On a typical mission, G2 now provides increased flexibility to carry an additional 150lbs. on an 800 NM mission and pushes top cruise speed even further above 300kts.<\/p>\n

Perspective Touch+ and Autothrottle<\/p>\n

The G2 Vision Jet introduces the \u2018Perspective Touch+\u2019 by Garmin (pronounced \u201cPerspective Touch Plus\u201d) advanced flight deck. With new hardware, faster processing speeds and greater screen resolution, Perspective Touch+ elevates the Vision Jet flight deck to a new level. Typically found on high-end business jets and commercial transport aircraft, Autothrottle is now available on G2. This game-changing technology integrates with the autopilot and can automatically adjust the aircraft\u2019s speed for each phase of flight, reducing workload and giving the pilot more time to focus on other tasks.<\/p>\n

New Flight Stream capabilities simplify the pilot\u2019s experience by creating connectivity between your personal mobile device and the flight deck \u2013 enabling a wide range of wireless enhancements including flight plan transfers, database updates, text messaging and more.<\/p>\n

Collectively, these new G2 features add to the class-leading capabilities of the Vision Jet flight deck including 3D Synthetic Vision, SurfaceWatchTM, integrated crew alerting, datalink weather, active weather radar, ADS-B, satellite communications, system synoptics and more. Upgraded Intelligent Batteries from True Blue Power\u00ae round out enhancements delivering improved cold start capabilities.<\/p>\n

Transformative Cabin Experience<\/p>\n

Designed around the personal travel experience, the G2 Vision Jet cabin raises the bar in comfort, spaciousness and productivity. A new executive seating configuration adds sophistication with two luxurious, artisan-crafted second row seats and an all-new center console with stow-away tables for a more productive in-flight experience. Enhancing the cabin environment, newly-developed noise reduction features have been thoughtfully engineered into G2. These improvements build upon the unrivaled spaciousness and panoramic views, the hallmarks of the Vision Jet design.<\/p>\n

Productivity and entertainment options abound as passengers have access to USB and 110V power outlets, as well as an expansive video monitor that extends from its flush mount overhead to deliver a best-in-class range of display and entertainment options from your favorite device. While the family seating configuration offers room for 5 adults and 2 children, each cabin seat is modular and can be quickly and easily repositioned or removed by the pilot, offering the added flexibility of more than 25 possible seating configurations.<\/p>\n

A New Era in Personal Transportation<\/p>\n

The Vision Jet received FAA certification in 2016 and immediately ushered in a new era in personal aviation as the world\u2019s first single-engine Personal Jet including the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System\u00ae (CAPS\u00ae). In 2018, the Vision Jet was awarded the most prestigious award in aeronautics \u2013 the Robert J. Collier Trophy.<\/p>\n

Approaching 100 customer deliveries around the world, Vision Jet owners enjoy the added value of a truly comprehensive ownership program \u2013 JetStream, offering worry-free ownership, JetStream includes the award-winning Williams International \u2018TAP Blue\u2019 turbine engine coverage, airframe and avionics maintenance, normal wear item replacements, recurrent pilot training and more.<\/p>\n
