The all-composite single-Engine Vision Jet was launched in 2006 and achieved certification a decade later on October 28^th, 2016. Originally designed to offer owners-pilot of piston-powered aircraft an easy step-up to a light personal jet. The vision jet is also Part 135 approved for operators seeking to offer air taxi services. Unique to the Vision Jet is the cirrus’s signature airframe parachute system, deploying from the aircraft’s nose. In 2018, the Vision Jet was awarded the Collier Trophy for developing the world’s first single-engine general aviation personal jet aircraft with a whole-airframe parachute system. 

In 2019 Cirrus Aircraft introduced the enhanced Generation 2 (G2) version. The G2 offers an Increased cruise altitude to FL310, a higher speed, and range increase to over 1200nm. It also introduces a newly-upgraded Perspective Touch+™ by Garmin® flight deck and AutoThrottles. In 2020 Cirrus Aircraft is planning to introduce SafeReturn™, a revolutionary Safe Return Emergency Autoland system allowing passengers to turn the vision Jet to a fully autonomous vehicle with just a touch of a button. The jet will thereafter navigate to the nearest suitable airport for landing, communicate with Air Traffic Control, lands, and come to a full stop on the runway.   

The 2021 G2+ version introduces a more optimized FJ33-5A engine thrust profile that provides up to 20% increased performance during take-off, allowing for shorter runways operations, Increased payload/ range, and Improved Take-Off safety margins, especially on hot and high airports.
