Limited edition celebrates 8,000th Cirrus aircraft

By General Aviation News Staff · February 1, 2021 ·

Cirrus Aircraft has unveiled a new Limited Edition aircraft to commemorate the delivery of its 8,000th SR Series aircraft later this year — the 8000 Limited Edition SR Series.

The limited run includes eight aircraft, according to company officials.

“The SR Series has an incredible history of innovation, evolution and invention,” said Zean Nielsen, CEO at Cirrus Aircraft. “Our team took that as inspiration to create a limited edition that breaks out of the boundaries of traditional aircraft design to reflect the energy and excitement of where we are going next.”

The 8000 Limited Edition SR Series features an exterior that is accentuated by a Volt wing paint scheme. The graphics and colors carry through into the interior with Volt stitching on the seats and embroidery on the door, and leather on the seats and throttle.

Cirrus Aircraft’s first SR Series airplane — the SR20 — was delivered in 1999. In 2021, the company will deliver its 8000th SR Series aircraft and exceed 11 million flight hours in more than 60 countries around the world.
