Cirrus Turbo SR22

by Mr. Flight on July 21st, 2006

Over at AeroNews there is some scoop that there will soon be a Turbo Cirrus, the Cirrus Turbo SR22. The turbonormalization system will be supplied by Tornado Alley Turbo.

“Our collaboration with Tornado Alley Turbo has been invaluable. The knowledge, insight and expertise they provided was significant in the creation of the Cirrus Turbo,” said Cirrus President and COO David Coleal. “We made the choice to further expand the SR22’s performance envelope in direct response to our recognition of higher-than-normal owner flight hours. How do you make a Cirrus aircraft more efficient and enable higher altitude flight? You add a turbo.” “When making the decision about adding the Turbo to our fleet, Cirrus chose the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) path as a matter of integrity,” added Klapmeier. “With the real possibility of losing 100 low lead aviation fuel, we felt that we owed it to our customers to be prepared for that day.”
