Cirrus Vision SF50

Why two stall strips per wing? I mean isn't a little buffet over the flaps enough or is the second one for ailerons. If so, please tell me the ailerons aren't that big that they come in that far,

As far as drag, if it's composite it takes a TON of drag off the airplane with it being so much closer to laminar flow. Take the SR20 and Piper Arrow. The 20's got a few extra horsepower but a huge advantage in speed, climb, t/o and landing performance. The SR20's we had even beat the PA44's.

Looks like it should be a UAV:crazy:

 

[jhugz]

I sure won't be flying this airplane due to it not being able to recover from a spin.

 

[Maurus]

You don't exactly hear about many jets getting into spins these days.

Did I seriously need the tag?

 

[Douglas]

By-golly, it's a dolphin.

KVNC, I'm really impressed with those pictures.

no they didn't but they were close. The fastest I ever saw the 20 was 150, we have quite a few seminoles that will get 166-170

Where are you pulling these numbers out of? Are these TAS?

I've flown LOTS of Seminoles (just looked it up out of curiosity and I have time in 49 Seminoles) and never even came close to seeing 170 kts.:dunno: That is unless we are talking groundspeed with a good tailwind.

Ok, I'll be that guy...

I like the looks of it.

here is a really crappy old camera phone pic of a seminole pfd in straight/level flight. :rawk:i will grab a pic if i fly tomorrow or monday of the TAS. most of the 'noles we have are new so that probably helps alot

So, after actually looking at the SJ-50, it looks like a neat little jet. Wouldn't want to buy one, but if somebody offered me a job, I wouldn't say no. And, no way in heck are you getting 7 people in there, unless your transporting a bunch of kids.

 

[KVNC]

wow, that first silhouette one is awesome!

Great pics. :clap:

KVNC, I'm really impressed with those pictures.

Thanks Everyone! Here are a couple more:

I think it's a pretty slick looking machine myself.

 

[Blip16]

does it have tks or something? i can't imagine a vfr only jet

nothing yet..

Obviously a very good aircraft and another great plane for the VLJ category. My experience with haters:

A pilot with the situational awareness required to be qualified to operate that aircraft should not get into a spin. If he does, at least he can pull the 'chute.
