I have found their announcements to be frequently overblown, typically it's just a new Garmin feature. Florian, I agree that's how it usually has been....but, in the little video, the hype includes: "important announcement" "will reveal the next phase in its vision of the future" "next leap forward" This has to be more than just another Garmin suite announcement...... maybe?

The way he stressed the word "vision" in that video makes me think it's some progress on the jet. That said, if it is jet-related I'm a little surprised they showed the jet in the video. Of course if they didn't show the jet, then we would know it was jet-related.

Robin White The cowling mod from LoPresti is a Fast one.. hope it's the DeltaHawk engine coming out. But it could be retractable gear..

I think more likely the money behind Cirrus bought another company and is merging the two of them. e.g. Epic, Kestrel, Mooney, HBC (  ).... Tim
