The Cirrus Vision SF50, commonly known as the Vision Jet, has become a significant player in the business aviation market. Designed and developed by Cirrus Aircraft, this very light jet first took to the skies with its prototype in July 2008. After years of development, it received its FAA type certificate in October 2016.

By December 2024, Cirrus Aircraft had delivered 600 units of the Vision Jet. This milestone highlights its popularity due to its design, performance, and safety features. In recognition of its impact on aeronautics, the Vision Jet was awarded the Collier Trophy in 2018 for "greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America."

The aircraft's specifications include a single Williams FJ33-5A turbofan engine providing up to 1,850 lbs of thrust. It boasts a maximum speed of 311 knots and a range between 600 NM to 1,200 NM depending on payload and cruise settings. The aircraft is designed for personal use but also certified for FAR part 135 operations.

Safety features are prominent in the Vision Jet. It includes Garmin's Safe Return Autoland system approved by the FAA in August 2020 and a whole-airframe ballistic parachute system. The avionics suite enhances situational awareness through interactive displays and real-time information.

Cirrus Aircraft emphasizes that "the Vision Jet provides an unparalleled level of safety," thanks to systems like CAPS and Safe Return Emergency Autoland which offer pilots confidence and security.

CEO Zean Nielsen remarked on their recent milestone: "We are proud to deliver the 600th Vision Jet... Our relentless dedication to advancing the personal aviation industry... remains committed to expanding the boundaries of aviation."

Nielsen further stated that "the delivery marks a significant achievement not only for Cirrus but for the entire personal aviation industry." The growing demand demonstrates interest in innovative and safe personal aviation solutions.

The Cirrus Vision Jet continues to redefine jet ownership with its combination of design innovation, technology integration, and unique safety features.
