About Cirrus
For over twenty years our team has delivered an aviation experience that is the pinnacle of innovation, quality and safety to our customers. And we’re just getting started.
Our History of Innovation
Twenty years ago, we re-imagined personal aviation with the SR Series. It redefined performance, style, comfort and safety. But we didn’t stop there. In 2016, we ushered in a new era in transportation with the Vision Jet – the world’s first single-engine Personal Jet™.
Each year, we raise the bar with continuous improvements like sophisticated avionics and luxurious interiors. And we continue to redefine safety through our unique flight training program, Cirrus Approach, along with a host of tools and services to help us deliver a world-class experience to our customers across the globe.
