In April , the new epitome roll-out appointment was announced for 2013 .credential flight
testing was scheduled to start out in 2014 .In October 2013 , three psychometric test
aircraft were under building , the first gear deliveries were scheduled for 2015 and the
order book now held 500 deposits .By then the first conforming aircraft was to pilot in
former 2014 .=== Final flight run === By February 2014 , 800 hours of test flight had been
completed .On 24 Master of Architecture 2014 , the showtime conforming paradigm
flew .The prototype was displayed at the Oshkosh Airshow that summer .Pre-orders of the $
1.96 million honey oil then numbered 550 and Cirrus intended to give rise up to 125
aircraft per year .The second conforming test aircraft flew in November 2014 .The third and
final conforming run aircraft made its firstly flight on 20 December 2014.In February 2015
the urban center of Duluth , MN committed U.S.A. $ 6M and had asked the land of Minnesota
to contribute US $ 4M to establish a US $ 10M manufactory that would represent leased to
Cirrus to produce the jet , to ward off the company moving the manufacturing functioning
elsewhere .In April 2015 , confident the corroboration would be on docket and no limiting
needed , Cirrus started production of the first of its 550 orders for the design .In September ,
the cirrus Perspective Touch field glass cockpit by Garmin was finalized , featuring one
primary flight showing and one multi-function show , with three littler touchscreen
restrainer located underneath .By Jan 2016 , certification had been delayed from 2015 to
the first half of 2016 ascribable to in-flight ballistic parachute testing .In border district , it
was announced that in-flight parachute deployment tryout were not required by the Union
soldier Aviation Administration for certification.On 5 Crataegus oxycantha 2016 , the first
production aircraft flew and certification was then forecast for June .The Williams FJ33-5A
engine was approved by the FAA on 6 June 2016 .Certification was then planned for the goal
of the same month .By July , the SF50 had over 600 decree , the four flight of stairs tryout
aircraft had flown more than 1,700 hours and certification had been delayed to the fourth
quarter of the year.On 28 October , after a ten-year exploitation appendage marked with
countless technological and financial challenges , the SF50 earned its typewrite certification
from the FAA .The design became the first civilian , single-engine spurt to be typecast
certified .=== Production === The first customer Vision SF50 was delivered on 19 December
2016 , against 600 salient order of magnitude .The first customer rescue ceremony was held
in the newfangled $ 16 million , 70,000 sq ft ( 6,500 m2 ) finishing center in Duluth , where
Cirrus employs more than 750 people.By April 2017 , cirrhus planned to deliver 25 to 50
aircraft that year and 75 to 125 in 2018 .A output credential was awarded on 2 May , to
produce more with no single review .As 15 % of its ordination are intended for the
European mart , Cirrus received EASA certification at the whitethorn 2017 EBACE .A
telecasting of the Cirrus Airframe parachute system ( roof ) being tested in-flight with a
aviate SF50 prototype was published by job Insider in Crataegus laevigata 2017 .By July
2017 , seven client aircraft had been delivered and one per week were being produced.On
19 December 2018 , Dale Klapmeier announced that he would leave his perspective as CEO
of the fellowship in the kickoff half of 2019 .By the end of 2018 , 88 aircraft had been
delivered , including 63 that year , while 540 orders were backlogged .Cirrus increased yield
to over 80 aircraft in 2019 and plans to produce 100 in 2020 .By Oct 2019 , the US market
represented 85 % of deliveries , but that was predicted to knock off to 75 % in 2020 , as the
number of international deliveries continues to grow.Since August 2020 , cirrus cloud has
offered an optional pinch autoland organization by Garmin , which the caller introduced in
October 2019 .It initiates at the push of a button and is built into the G3000 integrated
avionics for the novel G2 simulation .The system of rules is the 3rd certified in cosmopolitan
air power ( and 1st ever on a jet plane ) , along with the Piper M600 and Socata TBM
940 .Cirrus calls the technology `` Safe Return '' .Offered for $ 170,000 including extra
equipment , it allows landing on runways over 5,836 ft ( 1,779 molarity ) .By 4 Apr 2023 ,
439 vision Jets were on the uracil Fed air power Administration registry.As of December
2023 , the Vision SF50 has been the most-delivered clientele blue jet every twelvemonth
since 2018 .== Design == The imagination SF50 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane
powered by a ace Williams FJ33-4A-19 turbojet , producing 1,900 lbf ( 8,500 N ) , mounted
above the erect fuselage .It has a V-tail and retractable tricycle landing gear .The intent is
made entirely of complex cloth , a showtime for a production K .The enclosed cabin is 5.1
foot ( 1.56 m ) panoptic and 4.1 ft ( 1.24 m ) high .It can sit down up to seven occupier .The
cockpit , second base and third rows each seats two and an extra seat slides between the
secondly and third base row , but the third row is only heavy enough to accommodate
children .It has a 300 kn ( 560 kilometres per hour ) cruise swiftness .Access to the cabin is
through a clamshell room access on the left hand hand English of the fuselage .The SF50 is
designed for a life sentence bound of 12,000 flight minute .This is not a eccentric
certification limit .The SF50 is the first jet plane to arrive with a whole-aircraft ballistic
chute , the company 's CAPS , deploying from the aircraft 's nose.The SF50 is intended to be
a step-up aircraft for pilots who have flown the Cirrus SR20 , SR22 and other high-
performance lighter aircraft , and was developed initially for personal use and not for the
corporate or air taxi manufacture .However , by 2019 , the jet was FAR share 135 approved
for air taxi operators.Early versions were certified for 28,000 ft ( 8,534 megabyte ) and later
ones to 31,000 foot ( 9,449 m ) .The innovation has urethane deicing boots and an optional
lavatory , a single-piece carbon shell will contain cabin pressurization and it should fit in a
common atomic number 92 40 foot ( 12 grand ) Tee hangar.The wing spar is made of pure
pre-preg C vulcanized fiber plies , cured in a high-pressure , high-temperature autoclave ,
while most of the other major airframe parts are made of low-pressure , low-temperature
vulcanized carbon fibre sandwich construction , around a honeycomb core , including hired
man layup of kayoed pre-preg carbon roughage plies .High-strength metal alloys are used
for the landing gear and other contract stress areas , while the primary flight restraint
surfaces and wing fluttering are aluminum , with mechanically skillful flight of steps
ascendancy .The kiosk f number at MTOW with landing gearing and fluttering down is 67 kn
( 124 km/h ) Iowa , while the Vso is 64 kn ( 119 km/h ) Iowa at the 5,550 lb ( 2,520 kilo )
max landing weightiness , with Vref at 83 kn ( 154 km/h ) Hawkeye State or lower , similar
to an SR22 .The aircraft has a 14.7:1 glide proportion , allowing it to glide 75 nmi ( 139
kilometer ) from its FL 310 roof to sea level.In August 2020 , the sight SF50 received FAA
favorable reception for the induction of its safety homecoming autoland system of rules by
Garmin , the world-class honey oil aircraft to do so .The system is activated with a cabin-
ceiling shift and will determine the closest safe aerodrome , navigate to it , finish a landing
and stop , all without human remark .=== followup === AVweb describes the Vision jet as
both a enceinte plane and a significant one by how well `` the designing resonates with the
intended vendee '' .At FL270 and ISA +15 °C it cruises at 270 kn ( 500 km/h ) and consumes
57 US gal/h ( 216 L/h ) .
