Cirrus Design's The Jet is a next-generation aircraft planned as a transition from the Cirrus SR22 and not intended to compete with very light jets like the Eclipse 500 and the Cessna Citation Mustang.
It is intended for the personal use market 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.
The Jet will seat seven people. The cockpit will have two seats, and the second row will have two seats as will the third row. There will be a seat that can slide between the second and third row. The Jet will have two doors, and the parachute will be located in the nose.
