A Powerful Vision
A private jet with no need for a captain





The plush Cirrus Vision Jet joins the dots between high-performance ‘piston’ craft and a lighter jet – meaning the owner can fly the plane without having to rely on a professional pilot. Cirrus boasts of the personal jet’s strong yet light carbon fibre fuselage twinned with a “piggyback” engine placed on the rear body – a move that is said to reduce noise inside the cabin. The cabin itself is surprisingly roomy, housing up to seven passengers on reclining seats with a good deal of legroom. The flight deck is just as swanky: here sits a state-of-the-art system from Garmin, facilitating easy-to-use controls, shoring up the conclusion that this is a progressive addition to the sweeping roster of private jets.
