What happens when a personal jet costs less than a supercar and comes equipped with a whole-airframe parachute and emergency autoland system? You take it up to 300 knots! In this week's episode, Jay Leno leaves the tarmac behind to fly the revolutionary Cirrus Vision Jet (SF50) with Matt Bergwall, Executive Director of the Vision Jet product line at Cirrus Aircraft. Priced at approximately $3.6 million fully equipped, this single-engine personal jet brings carbon fiber construction and airline-grade avionics to general aviation.
Powered by a top-mounted Williams International FJ33 turbofan engine producing 1,846 lbs of thrust, the 6,000-pound Vision Jet features Cirrus's signature V-tail design, a 31,000-foot service ceiling, and the life-saving Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). Matt and Jay demonstrate text-based ATC Datalink clearances, synthetic vision displays, and the Safe Return autoland button that can autonomously communicate with air traffic control and land the plane if the pilot is ever incapacitated.
Watch Jay get behind the side-yoke controls over Southern California to experience takeoff thrust, steep turns, and landing this game-changing personal jet!
