Cessna Reveals "Cirrus Killer"

The ROTAX is in the LSA, the engine in the full-size
airplane has not be said, probably a Lycoming 540 but it
could be anything.

| So, they didn't land the thing to let the folks have a
closer look-see?
| What a tease! Funky wing design though... Wonder how
it's powered?

Nope! That was for the Light Sport Aircraft, not the Cirrus Killer.
How would you expect to carry 5 people with 100 hp?


Gee, maybe Cessna's *really* got something up their sleeve? G

Looks way cool. Strutless wings, too. And simple. I wonder how far away
it is from certification?


They really busted some ass getting it in the air. I like it, looks damn
good. I'm sure I won't own one anytime soon!

The above link appears to have expired and I searched Avweb and didn't
find anything under "Cirrus killer", at least nothing with pictures.
Anyone know of an alternate link?

Bob,

With the added levitation spell, it's no problem.

Thanks. A touch on the homely side, but very interesting nonetheless.
It will be curious to see what affect this has on the market if they
actually take it into production.

Any activity is welcomed. Good paint is always needed.

I agree. Almost anything Cessna does will have a positive impact on the
industry.

What will it *cost*?

If it's a Cirrus killer it'd have to be priced accordingly. 400-450k?


Well that just put it WAYYYY!! beyond my price range. Somewhere about 20 to
35k is about as far as I could go!

Besides, who the hell could afford a half million dollar,4 place single
engine aircraft anyway? Certainly not your average hourly wage earner such
as myself!
