The Big Reveal

CIRRUS ROLLS OUT 'THE JET'

(http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news..._198192-1.html)

Well, we still don't know its real name and we're not sure if it
got out of the massive former Northwest Airlines A320 maintenance
hangar on its own power but it sure looks like Cirrus's new family
jet is ready to fly. ...EAA AirVenture are hoping for as the jet
is obviously nearing first flight. The aircraft was formally
introduced exactly a year ago at last year's Cirrus Migration and
more than 400 refundable deposits of $100,000 have been received.

NEARLY READY TO TAXI

June 2008. During the past few months the Advanced Development
Group has achieved several significant milestones related to the
goal of First Flight of the-jet. While these pictures do not
adequately capture the total determination, focus and energy that
is happening on this project right now, they do give you a sense
of just how far we have come lately and how close we are to
realizing First Flight.

Construction of the test aircraft you see here, called "V1", is
complete. Earlier this week, the ADG build team and engineers
ceremoniously handed the keys over to the ADG flight test crew.
The flight test team will now complete a very methodical process
to ensure V1 is ready to fly safely and within very specific
flight parameters set for the initial flight. Even at this
critical stage the team is approaching its work and the impending
flight schedule with the same careful diligence and thoughtful
planning as they have from the onset of the program.

Our next update will be shortly after the inaugural flight of
the-jet.
