I think Cirrus should steal the hondajet's scheme.

Blue is a great color for a plane! :thumbup:

Best color I've seen on it yet. I would like to see it in silver and black.

Question(s)- is the cirrus jet a composite airframe? I remember when composites first started being used they could only paint them white because they could not withstand the higher surface temperatures in the sun. Is this no longer a problem or is Cirrus ignoring it in order to attract attention to their design?

Cirrus has been able to add color for a couple years now. Not sure if it's paint though.

I can't look past the 400lb. full-fuel payload, no matter what color they paint/dye it. I'm somewhat surprised that they have customer feedback suggesting that this meets the common mission profile.

Please delete.

I agree.

But I still want al of these single engine jets to come out so that they hopefully drive down the price of a Pilatus.

Did anyone say what the range of the Cirrus Jet was with full fuel? I don't think it would be unusual to have a 400 pound payload with 1,200 mile range, ISA with normal winds; that way, one could carry a bit less fuel and more payload. That being said, I think of a jet as go fast/go far. One doesn't want to stop on a three to four hour trip, descend; get fuel; climb again. For instance, Dallas to San Diego should be non-stop.

My P-Baron will do about 1,100NM with 600 pound payload. I'd really like that or a bit more.

Best,

Dave
