Cirrus SR22T G6: More Style and Avionics

Lets get this out of the way, shall we? Cirrus salespeople arent apologetic that a fully loaded 2017 SR22T GTS comes with an eye-widening invoice north of $900,000 when you tack on an extended warranty. Cirrus offers less expensive models, of course, but the turbocharged SR22T is the most popular seller. Just how many buyers would spend nearly $1 million for an unpressurized piston single, you might ask? More than you might think.

Aircraft Flight Trial

While recent GAMA sales reports showed a flat market for new piston aircraft sales, Cirrus enjoyed continued sales growth—selling 317 total units in 2016—bringing the global fleet to more than 6500 SR series aircraft. It’s not backing down.
