Under a beautiful Wisconsin summer sky, Cirrus Design CEO Alan Klapmeier unveiled his company’s latest design before an enthusiastic audience of media and aviation lovers. A green parachute canopy covered the Cirrus SRS right up until Klapmeier finished his comments.With a flourish, the Cirrus crew pulled the billowing chute aside to reveal a beautiful, streamlined composite LSA airplane that isn’t yet in production.
“We’re working some things out,” said Klapmeier with a laugh, “such as how to get it a little slower. It’s too fast. But that’s an easier problem than the other way around!”
The LSA design spec calls for a maximum speed of 120 KCAS. The low-wing two-seater has a useful load of 400-pound minimum, burns premium mogas or avgas (100LL) and has the Cirrus hallmark CAPS airframe parachute system.
