CIRRUS ANNOUNCES 2008 Model SR20
1998 doesn’t seem that long ago for the Cirrus team, but 2008 already marks the 10th anniversary of this remarkable plane that changed the general aviation industry.Â
CIRRUS Chairman and CEO Alan Klapmeier spoke out on the significance of the latest milestone in the company’s history. “When the SR20 was certified in 1998, it literally shook up the whole industry and put us on the map,” he said. “Until then, we were thought of as a kit manufacturer, but when the industry took note of the SR20’s incredible design as well as its many innovations and safety features, they knew we were a force to be reckoned with. Soon, other manufacturers started to copy us.â€
Klapmeier added, “With the 2008 SR20, we’ve designed a plane that will satisfy most everyone - whether they’re a beginning student, an experienced pilot looking for personal transportation, or a flight training center wanting to expand their operation. For 10 years, the SR20 has won a loyal following of satisfied pilots. And now, this airplane will satisfy the needs of a whole new generation of pilots.”
 The SR20’s reengineered wing, designed with a new carbon-fiber spar that reduces the airplane’s overall weight and provides an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. The SR20’s Continental engine puts 200-hp of power at the pilot’s fingertips, and its redesigned longer wing gives pilots greater climb performance than ever before. The plane boasts a spacious 49-inch-wide cabin that will keep all occupants relaxed in an atmosphere of lavish ergonomic seating and a superior climate-controlled environment. Oversized doors allow for easy entry and exit, while the unique rear window brings in additional light to create a brighter, more comfortable ambient environment. Luxurious leather seats surround pilot and passengers, making even longer flights a relaxing experience
