Business Wire

Cirrus showcases the evolution of the world's best-selling jet in General Aviation with new capabilities, connected aircraft technology, and comprehensive owner and operator services

LAS VEGAS, October 19, 2026--Cirrus (Cirrus Aircraft Ltd.), the manufacturer of the best-selling jet in General Aviation, today celebrates 10 years of the Collier Trophy-winning Vision®Jet at NBAA-BACE 2026, highlighting a decade of innovation that has transformed the world's first single-engine personal jet equipped with the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®), an integrated whole-airframe parachute system into an increasingly capable platform for business, special missions, supplemental lift, and Part 135 charter operations.

Since earning FAA type certification in 2016, the Vision Jet has evolved through three generations of innovation, expanding its mission capabilities while delivering the performance, safety, and simplicity that define the Cirrus ownership experience. Today, the Vision Jet serves a growing global fleet of owners and operators with an integrated ecosystem spanning aircraft technology, flight training, service and support, connectivity, pre-flown aircraft (Cirrus NEXT™), and fleet management.

"Over the last decade, the Vision Jet has grown into an entirely new category of business jet and changed what's possible for regional travel," said Zean Nielsen, Chief Executive Officer of Cirrus. "Continuous innovation in the aircraft, paired with our investment in training, service, connectivity, and support, has built a complete ecosystem that lets customers do more with their Vision Jet. Today, we're building on that foundation with an aircraft and ownership experience that helps customers accomplish even more, whether they're flying for business or connecting people and communities."

A Decade of Vision Jet Innovation

First certified by the FAA in 2016, the Vision Jet introduced a new approach to jet aviation, combining a spacious cabin, single-engine efficiency, advanced avionics, and award-winning safety features including CAPS® and Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland in a platform designed around the pilot and passenger experience.

Over the past decade, Cirrus has continued to advance the Vision Jet. The G2 Vision Jet introduced improved performance, range, and cabin enhancements, followed by the G2+ Vision Jet with expanded connectivity, better takeoff performance and Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland. The 317 ktas, FL310-capable G3 Vision Jet then added ATC Datalink, Spectra™ LED Wingtip Lights capabilities and a new 6+1 seating configuration, in a cabin designed to carry six adults comfortably. Having recently reached the milestone of more than 800 Vision Jet deliveries worldwide, the aircraft remains the world's best-selling jet in General Aviation and has established a growing role beyond personal transportation.
