Cirrus SR20

The Cirrus SR20 is an American piston-engine, four-or-five-seat, composite monoplane. The SR20 was the first production general aviation aircraft equipped with a parachute to lower the airplane safely to the ground after a loss of control, structural failure or mid-air collision. It was also the first manufactured light aircraft with all-composite construction and flat-panel avionics. The SR20 mock-up was unveiled in 1994. The aircraft first flew on 21 March 1995 and FAA certification was achieved on 23 October 1998.

Cirrus SR22

The Cirrus SR22 is a single-engine four- or five-seat composite aircraft built from 2001. The SR22 series has been the world's best-selling general aviation (GA) airplane every year since 2003. The Cirrus SR22 is equipped with a whole-plane emergency recovery parachute system: the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). This has contributed to its market success and has given it the name "the plane with the parachute".
