new twin concept from Cirrus

All good points. Probably the best argument against the twin is that
Cirrus' singles are so damn fast already. I read recently about a
turbonormalizer STC for the SR22 that boosts the cruise up to 200kts.
Not a cheap mod for an extra 15kt on the top end, but the climb is
probably pretty impressive past 8k feet.

That's the main purpose of turbonormalizing, climb performance; and much
better "high and hot" performance.

There's a significant difference between tubronormalizing and
turbosupercharging and evidently that's what Cirrus is going after.

I don't think the turbo mod was from Cirrus, it was aftermarket. Other
than limiting boost to produce a maximum manifold pressure of X
(turbonormalized engine), what other significant differences are there
between the two systems?

Kingfish,

Ah, a jet and a twin based on the single-engine design - and with
Thielerts. Now where have I heard that idea before? g

I have seen what seemed to be a prototype of an SR-22 fitted with the big 350-HP Thielert.

I kinda figured that would be the next evolution of that airframe. Did
the cowling look like it was modified?

Reference my second and third posts re the DA-42

Just a little. Some louver-type ventilation and such. But the engine is
heavier than the TCM.
