Cirrus Design's The Jet is a next-generation aircraft planned as a transition from the Cirrus SR22.

The jet is not intended to compete with very light jets like the Eclipse 500 and the Cessna Citation Mustang. It will be a personal jet and will be comparable to the Diamond Aircraft Industries D-Jet. It will have a parachute, as all Cirrus have, and will be made of a composite material. Certification expected in the next few years. Cirrus is currently taking $100,000 deposits for the jet.

[edit] Released Information

In December 2006 Cirrus announced that the jet will be the "slowest, lowest, and cheapest jet available." The jet will be powered by a single Williams FJ33-3 engine, producing 1900 pounds of thrust and is expected to cruise at about 300 knots. The jet's certification target is 2010.

Cirrus also confirmed that the current project working name "The-Jet" is merely a place-holder until a permanent name is chosen for the aircraft and that the aircraft will not be sold under the present name.
