Cirrus to unveil jet next month

At the Sun ’n’ Fun show in Lakeland, Fla., Cirrus Design cofounder and CEO Alan Klapmeier said that on June 27 the company will unveil its new single-engine jet to deposit holders at the annual Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association meeting. “We’re not that far along,” he said, adding, “It’s not done until it’s done. I don’t want people jumping to conclusions. It’s the lowest, slowest and shortest-range jet you can buy.” More than 140 people have placed deposits on the Cirrus personal jet thus far.
