Cirrus Aircraft has just announced plans to develop the Duluth Innovation Center at its Duluth Minnesota campus. The 189,000 square foot building sits on a 39 acre campus that was formally home to Northwest Airlines.
The company told Flyer that the centre is designed to become the ‘epicentre for personal aviation engineering’ and will look to hire engineering talent from around the world. Building renovation starts this month.
Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer at Cirrus said “We are a company of big ideas such as putting a parachute on every Cirrus aircraft, designing and building a single engine Jet, introducing Safe Return Autoland, rolling out Cirrus IQ connectivity and offering a 360-degree ecosystem around the customer. This investment solidifies Cirrus Aircraft’s commitment to continuous innovation. We want talent to think of Cirrus Aircraft, Duluth, and now the new Innovation Center as a special place where the latest and greatest general aviation technologies come to life. The Innovation Center is designed to become the epicenter for personal aviation engineering and to attract top talent from around the world.”
