Aircraft Cirrus Vision Jet G2

The Vision Jet is the only production single-engine jet and the world's best-selling jet by number of deliveries. It seats five adults plus two children, has a range of approximately 2,360 km, and a speed of 630 km/h (390 mph). It is powered by a Williams FJ33-5A engine. Unique protection features include a CAPS parachute for the entire jet and a one-button Safe Return autolanding system. It has been in production since 2019. There is no flight attendant or hot meals, making the cabin compact. Baggage access is not available in-flight; it is loaded on the ground. Typical routes include Moscow–Tbilisi, Almaty–Delhi, and Tashkent–Baku. Submit a request—we will prepare a proposal, calculate the contents, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

Cirrus is an American manufacturer whose piston-engined SR22s have remained the best-selling general aviation aircraft for twenty years running. The Vision Jet is its first jet: the only production single-engine jet, the world's best-selling jet by number of deliveries since 2018. With five adult seats, a range of approximately 2,200 km, and a price starting at $3.5 million, it offers the most affordable entry into jet aviation.

The Cirrus has removed the main fear of single-engine aircraft: the Vision Jet is equipped as standard with a CAPS parachute, which lowers the entire aircraft with passengers, and the Safe Return system—at the push of a button, the Garmin autopilot automatically selects an airfield, approaches, and lands without pilot intervention. On the SR piston line, the parachute has already saved over 250 people; no other commercial competitor offers this combination.

Demand for used Vision Jets consistently exceeds supply: three- to four-year-old G2s sell for $2.8 million to $3.3 million—approximately $85 million compared to new. Ownership is the cheapest in the jet segment: a single Williams FJ33 engine, fuel consumption of approximately 250 liters per hour, and direct costs of approximately $800 to $1,000 per flight hour for $s, compared to $500 to $2,000 for classic very light jets.

Cirrus is an American manufacturer based in Duluth, Minnesota, founded in 1984. The piston-engined SR22 has remained the best-selling general aviation aircraft for twenty years, with over 8,000 SR family aircraft produced; the jet-powered Vision Jet has been delivered in excess of 500 units.

The VLJ is designed for short business flights for 1-3 passengers: Almaty-Bishkek, Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod, and Istanbul-Antalya. The optimal flight distance is 800-2,000 km, or 1.5-2.5 hours. The aircraft are certified for single pilots and use short runways (at least 1,000 meters), so they fly to smaller airports closer to the destination, such as Courchevel or St. Moritz, instead of a major hub.

The standard class is 4–6 passenger seats and a range of 2,000–2,900 km: Phenom 100EX — 2,180 km, Cirrus Vision Jet — about 2,300 km, Citation M2 Gen 2 — 2,880 km, HondaJet Elite II — 2,865 km. Cruising speed is 630–780 km/h. With a full load of seats, the actual range is reduced to approximately 1,500–2,000 km.

A light jet (Phenom 300E, CJ4) carries 7-10 passengers 3,700-4,000 km, while a VLJ carries 4-6 passengers 2,000-2,900 km. Light jets have a more spacious cabin with a full lavatory and larger luggage compartments, and they have a higher speed. However, a VLJ with a 30-40% is cheaper to lease and purchase. The rule is simple: for up to four passengers and a range of 2,000 km, a VLJ is sufficient; for a range of more, a light jet is needed.

Four models: Cessna Citation M2 Gen 2 — the classic with the longest range in the set (2,880 km); HondaJet Elite II — the fastest (782 km/h) with a separate toilet and a luggage compartment of 1.87 m³; Embraer Phenom 100EX with an interior from BMW Designworks; Cirrus Vision Jet G2 — the only one with a CAPS glider parachute and the Safe Return automatic landing system.

Start with two figures: the typical route length and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 passengers – a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km – a medium jet; nonstop intercontinental flights – a long-haul jet. Add adjustments for short runs, baggage volume, and berths. We'll select a model that matches your profile and calculate the economics of ownership.

A new aircraft comes with a factory warranty and a 1-3 year waiting list, but the price is maximum. A used aircraft offers immediate delivery and a lower price for the 30-60%, but it's important to check the engine life and history. For most buyers, a new aircraft, 3-7 years old, is optimal: the main discount has already been applied, and the aircraft still has a long service life. We consider both options.
