Cirrus’s piston product line features large and airy cabins, and the Vision Jet continued this feature. Recently, Flight International was invited to fly the Vision Jet G2+ out of San Jose’s Norman Y Mineta International airport. Matthew Bergwall, Cirrus’s director of Vision Jet product line, says this reduction allows him to characterise the type’s cabin as a headset-free zone. This keeps pilots and passengers connected in real time, improving productivity.Įnhancements to passive sound deadening from the G1 to the G2 reduced ambient cabin noise levels by up to 3dB. The next bandwidth increase is actual in-flight connectivity, using Gogo’s Avance 元 3G broadband system. Changes to the FJ33’s FADEC increase available thrust for take-off, allowing more range and/or payload compared with the G2.

The major update is in enhanced hot and high operating performance.
#Cirrus sf50 vision jet upgrade
In July 2021, Cirrus announced the latest upgrade to the SF50, the Vision Jet G2+, offering what might be best characterised as increased bandwidth. Stated in other terms, the G2 could carry 68kg (145lb) more payload than the G1 over 800nm.Īside from its increased performance, the G2 also gained an auto-throttle (AT), a welcome addition that reduces pilot workload. This higher altitude and thrust capability pushed maximum range out to 920nm (1,700km) with four occupants. The Vision Jet’s composite fuselage was also reinforced, so that the original G1 version’s 8,000ft cabin altitude pressure could be maintained. Launched in early 2019, this standard increased the jet’s operating ceiling from 28,000ft to 31,000ft, made possible by upping the Williams International FJ33 engine’s thrust output at altitudes above 24,000ft. Since then, Cirrus has not stood still, offering a major upgrade with its Generation 2 (G2). I was fortunate to fly the original Vision Jet in July 2017 for Flight International. Increase in available thrust from Williams FJ33 engine gives the Vision Jet G2+ greater range and/or payload Decade of Airline Excellence Awards 2020.Airline Business special: CEOs to watch in 2021.FlightGlobal Guide to Business Aviation Training and Safety 2021.Airline Business Covid-19 recovery tracker: November 2021 update.EDGE: A new global force in aerospace and defence.Shell Aviation: What will it take to Decarbonise Aviation?.What does the future of aviation look like in 2022?.Guide to Business Aviation Training and Safety 2022.What will it take to Decarbonise Aviation?.A new episode of the Airline Business podcast is available - listen now.
