The Cirrus Vision Jet, known for being the world's first single-engine personal jet, can reach a maximum operating altitude of 31,000 feet.
This altitude is a key performance characteristic that allows the Vision Jet to fly efficiently above much of the turbulent weather typically found at lower altitudes and also positions it above the cruising altitudes of many smaller aircraft.
Understanding the Vision Jet's Flight Capabilities
The ability to fly at 31,000 feet is a significant advantage for a personal jet. It provides a smoother ride for passengers and allows for more direct routing, potentially reducing flight times.
According to Cirrus Aircraft's specifications, the Vision Jet offers impressive performance metrics that complement its high-altitude capability.
Vision Jet Performance Highlights
Here are some key performance figures for the Vision Jet, as noted by Cirrus Aircraft:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Takeoff Groundroll | 2,036 ft (620 m) |
| Max Operating Altitude | 31,000 ft |
| Stall Speed with Flaps | 67 knots |
| Max Cruise Speed | 311 KTAS (Knots True Airspeed) |
| Landing Groundroll | 1,628 ft (496 m) |
This combination of manageable takeoff and landing distances, a relatively low stall speed, and a respectable cruise speed, paired with its high operating altitude, makes the Vision Jet a versatile aircraft for personal and business travel.
