Cirrus delivers a very green 11,000th SR aircraft

Cirrus has delivered its 11,000th SR Series aircraft. That’s 11,000 piston aircraft since the very first SR20 was delivered 26 years ago.

The SR Series product line (SR20, SR22 and SR22T) was first delivered in 1999 and has been the best-selling high-performance single-engine piston aircraft for over two decades.

“Delivering 11,000 SR Series aircraft is an incredible milestone for Cirrus,” said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus.

“Cirrus is the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world, and our aircraft feature cutting-edge innovations including the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), Perspective Touch+ avionics and Safe Return Emergency Autoland, which continue to raise the industry benchmark and keep people flying with confidence.”

There’s a ‘one-of-one’ 11,000th SR Series aircraft of course, and it’s a enough to turn any pilot green with envy.

Crafted by the Cirrus Xi Design Studio, the design is ‘a combination of elegance, sportiness and thoughtful details’ celebrating 11,000 aircraft deliveries with the number eleven on the fuselage, tail and inside the cabin.

The paint is dark green Monteverde and it has features in Vision Green, Concrete Alcantara and matte carbon fibre to create a sophisticated, amazing cabin.

Simply amazing cockpit on the latest Cirrus SR

New for 2025, the SR Series G7+ aircraft features:

• Safe Return Emergency Autoland as standard equipment. In the event of an emergency, anyone in the cabin can activate Safe Return Emergency Autoland with the touch of a button. Once engaged, sophisticated sensors and algorithms navigate the aircraft to a nearby suitable airport and autonomously land the aircraft.
• Automatic Database Updates powered by Cirrus IQ PRO allow owners to receive automatic avionics database updates via Wi-Fi or LTE to ensure the most current and accurate data for navigation.
• Runway Occupancy Awareness leverages ADS-B traffic data to predict and alert pilots of potential runway incursions from nearby airborne aircraft or other aircraft on or approaching the runway.
• Visual and aural alerts are provided on the pilot’s primary flight display and 3D SafeTaxi map to maximise situational awareness, especially useful at busy airports.
• Smart Pitot Heat is enabled by systems integration through Perspective Touch+ to reduce pilot workload and automate the flying experience. The system performs a self-test before every flight and automatically turns on or off in flight depending on outside air temperatures.

No word on price but you can bet your last dollar it’ll be a lot of green(backs).
