Cirrus SR22
Cirrus, 2001 · General Aviation SEP
The Cirrus SR22 is a single-engine four- or five-seat composite aircraft built since 2001 by Cirrus Aircraft of Duluth, Minnesota, United States.
It is a development of the Cirrus SR20, with a larger wing, higher fuel capacity and more powerful, 310-horsepower (231 kW) engine, and a 315 hp (235 kW) engine for the turbocharged version of the aircraft. In the general aviation (GA) industry, it became the first light aircraft with a full glass cockpit.
The SR22 series has been the world’s best-selling GA airplane every year since 2003. With 8,246 units delivered from 2001 to 2024, and in combination with the SR20, a total of 10,178, it is the most-produced GA aircraft of the 21st century, and is the single most-produced aircraft made from composite material, accounting for nearly 50% of the entire piston aircraft market.
The Cirrus SR22 has a whole-plane emergency recovery parachute system, the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). This has contributed to its market success and has given it the nickname “the plane with the parachute”
