Coming out of a pandemic, we have seen a surge in the number of private jet flights around the world. This has lead to an increase in the number of new private jet owners, who view this as an opportunity to escape on demand, ensuring no matter what happens around the world, they are not relient on others. With that said, trying to find a jet that is affordable, as well reliable, is easier said that done. For most, they just need something small that they can use for localised flights, and in some cases that they could fly themselves. The need for something small and that could access the majority of airports is a must and this is where the Vision Jet comes in from Cirrus Aircraft.

Launched in 2016, the Vision Jet redefined aviation – creating the new category of the Personal Jet – with its spacious, pilot and passenger-friendly cabin featuring panoramic windows, reclining seats, comfortable legroom for five adults and two children, and the only turbine aircraft with a whole airframe parachute system as standard equipment. The Vision Jet won the Robert J. Collier Trophy from the National Aeronautic Association in 2018.

In early 2019, the company announced the launch of the G2 Vision Jet. This new model has increased performance, comfort and safety. Evolutionary features include increased cruise altitude, speed and range, along with a category-leading Perspective Touch+ by Garmin flight deck. In addition to the upgrades, several industry-changing technologies were added to the G2 Vision Jet, including a category-first Autothrottle, Flight Stream connectivity and more.

The Vision Jet has constantly been evolving, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) recently certifying its Safe Return Emergency Autoland system – a revolutionary feature that allows passengers to land the plane with just the touch of a button in emergency situations. In addition, Garmin’s Autoland technology – which enables Safe Return – was awarded the Collier Trophy by the National Aeronautic Association, previously awarded to Cirrus Aircraft for the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System™ (CAPS®) on the Vision Jet. With the award-winning combination of Safe Return and CAPS, the Vision Jet provides the most comprehensive, must-have total safety solution in general aviation.

In 2020, the company announced an industry-changing ownership program for the Vision Jet called VisionAir™. This revolutionary program is designed as a completely turnkey solution, including everything needed to own, operate and manage a Vision Jet. This makes the reality of owning the world’s first Personal Jet more accessible than ever.

“The G2+ Vision Jet is the next step in continuing to transform personal aviation,” said Zean Nielsen, CEO at Cirrus Aircraft. “The enhancements to both the take-off performance capabilities in hot and high conditions and the InFlight WiFi connected passenger experience ensure that the Vision Jet continues to exceed the evolving needs of our owners, both present and future. This aircraft is one more revolutionary advance in personal aviation, made possible by the world-class team at Cirrus Aircraft.”

The Cirrus Vision Jet has a repuation as a versatile single-engine jet capable of adapting to the unique needs of business and personal travel missions. The Williams FJ33-5A engine has been improved for the G2+ Vision Jet. It offers up to 20% increased performance during take-off. It provides better performance for increased range, carry more, and enjoy added reassurance in hot temperatures and high elevations, that gives access to additional airports at popular destinations across the globe.

The G2+ Vision Jet also has Gogo InFlight WiFi for the first time. This means that it can stay connected while in the air, using Gogo’s AVANCE L3 system. This is important because it keeps the pilot and passengers connected. They can communicate in real-time with people on the ground with USB-C ports to keep devices charged.

For the interior, the new colorways, including stand-out additions like Titan Grey, Volt and Bimini Blue, join updated design lines that accentuate the sleek, distinct curve of the Vision Jet’s carbon fiber fuselage, making it impossible to miss on the ramp, runway or in the air. From the sleek exterior, to the remarkably spacious and well-designed interior made possible by the panoramic windows unique to the Vision Jet, to the premium leather, bolstered seats, and noise reduction features, the Vision Jet offers an immersive experience like no other in its class.

Looks like we have found the perfect light jet, wouldn’t you agree?
