Cirrus gets me everytime time man. The only aircraft company that actually know how to design a gorgeous interior.

This jet is absolutly beautiful

I remember when everyone was insisting years ago that VLJs would soon FILL THE SKIES. But Paul, as always, was far more realistic in his assessment of their prospects. He's the most no-BS journalist in aviation. Good review, as always.

Face it, as pilots we would like the nicest plane we could afford. If I could afford one of these, I would love it. Love the PC12, but it is almost twice as much. I have never seen an ugly airplane, some are just better looking than others. I fly a 1973 A36 bonanza, and have a partner, and I am at the peak of what I can afford. I could see a plane like the vision jet finding a niche in the multi-owner market. Most of the negative comments are sour grapes in my opinion. We should be thankful that some manufacturers are actually introducing new aircraft.

Haha heard my voice in the background near the 15 min mark - ATC!

After many hours in SR20s, the SF50 would work for me. It looks very comfortable... especially for those long XC rides. Cool!

Well done - that was an interesting, educational and enjoyable watch. Paul even cracked a smile.. :)

Emergency parachute on a jet: GENIUS.

Love the sound of engine starting and the takeoff, my mouth is drooling! Oh yeah, love the rest of it also ;-)

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Very detailed video. I appreciated the comparison chart. Nice plane

Not too bad of a landing- for a Cub pilot. 😄 Great video as usual, Paul. 👍🏻

Gotta do something about that volume normalization.

Excellent! (Paul Bertorelli Fan Club Charter Member)

Very informative. Thanks.

Great video

Excellent work Paul and Larry! I just need the $2.2M to get in line for one. 😊

Comparing this to the Citation Mustang, its a no brainer. Sad it takes so long to take order of one of these - but worth the wait. Finally a true GA Jet which offers a great ATP standard training course (+/-100ft, plus speed). I am sure most of us can not wait for some PIC vision jet time!

I want one. Awesome aircraft.

These huge glass cockpits with gigantic touch screens really do my head in. I've yet to get one to work in FSX or X-Plane .. not that I tried much, but wow. Very big screens. Must be a bit tough if you're short.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="5">0:05</a> you can see the 'fish tailing' from the camera view behind the pilots...I'm a bit surprised since there are two fairly large yaw damper fins in the lower tail area.

Really nice personal jet👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I still don't think I've ever seen a cockpit that looks so comfortable

People keep comparing this to turboprops and twin vlj's and keep coming up with negatives. The Vision Jet is in a class of it's own folks. Certification for higher altitudes would've made it more complex and it would gum up the works at the commercial jet altitudes. Also, time of usefull conciousness after a rapid decompession at FL280 (2.5-3 minutes) is a lot longer than at FL400 (15-20 seconds). For the average SR22 owner this is about as perfect as it gets. No complicated systems and procedures plus an almost foolproof auto-pilot. Relax, sit back and let the plane fly itself while you monitor the systems and manage the flight. The Vision Jet flies the SR22 mission, higher and faster. If you do need more range, space and a toilet get a PC12 or B200.(for about twice as much).

BRB. Gotta go buy some lottery tickets.

Their factory is in Duluth? Awesome! Represent Minnesota!!

man i hope i can buy one of these these days

600 bucks an hour operating costs.?? holy moly....

With less than 2100 ft. of takeoff distance required, you gotta love this jet.

"the jet looks like it's straight out of the future" ....looks to me like 1945 - HE 162 ( I still like it though)

if my calculations correct , this flight air speed was almost 982km/610mile per hour , is this correct ? and this's quite a diffirent speed data compare with visiin sf50 cruise speed 300kt (556km).

The coolest thing for me is the parachute

Do you have to adjust the throttle manually when in autopilot mode or it does that automatically as well like in big jets

Tough to wrap my head around a "Single-Engine JET" ... , but I suppose that is the wave of the future!

But why in 2018 it's still a castering nose wheel. I've flown a 22 and that's slot of P effect to over come. I understand the jet won't be an issue. I guess if I had the two plus I could get use to it.

What a cool plane. This is what I think the cars of the future will look like. Small stick of occasional control all else on autopilot.

It has got me thinking...

A small quality item. The vent panel, ight of the center pillar (from Pilot) is bent down.

Looks like a bonanza to me

I wonder if Griffey is flying his now.

Is this plane able to fly from Santo Domingo to Miami with 3 pax+ luggage at economy cruise?

Sharp jet I want one

But isn't it noisy on the inside though?

wish i have one :(

Could you fly this to Dominican republic from mami fl?

one day...

The bacon frying in the background is a bit distracting.

Fly safe....

Paul why don't you talk about big jumbo jets

58 gal per hour.... Jets have a drinking problem.

Please fix the spelling in the description please! As a copywriter, spelling the product name correctly is essential.....

that guy using the handle of his screwdriver as a hammer....

I like the training program should help the new pilot that's not transitioning from any other aircraft.

So how much would the fuel cost for a flight from denver to pittsburgh? I wanna know how much would fuel cost..cause is it really worth it if an airline ticket is the same price as the fuel🙄

I’m getting one soon

TBM is better for the guy who takes people flying for short or long haul, this is more for single person trips and rec flying med haul and xl haul. Because of it being a jet.

Oh please, I’ve seen real world reviews of this and people weren’t getting any more than 250kts. There are so many better options. But it does look cool, but so does a TBM or king air

But can you fly inverted???

When he say's $600 an hour to operate what exactly does that include ???

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="92">1:32</a> .......... is that a SPECIAL TOOL / CIRRUS LIKE????????

Would rather have a TBM850 or 900 for that price point

are the seats electric?

Looks like the HE-162. How odd that this design goes back to the 1940s

Piper jet

2 million bucks, and a go-pro taped to the dash, I think Not!!! Love the plane, an awesome jet, would love a flight for the experience.

the noise on your intro splash sounds like nails on a chalkboard

300-400NM at 600$/h Looks like I’m gonna keep the Honda Odyssey How about a DA62

If the pilot decides to live and fly the plane can he cut away the parachute...save the plane? Asking for a friend.

Paul burgoreli seems a bit upset. ANyone else notice that

The competition is fast turboprops and the king of the hill is Pilatus PC-12. It carries 8 people at nearly the same cruise speed much farther and it has a TOILET! Operating cost is about the same. BUT...it costs twice as much!

Mission? This some kind military plane?

Good, not high enough for RVSM.

These are cool, but I really dislike the bulbous look, and the short range. I think, I'd prefer a Flaris Lar1, though it is a shame that the Lar1 is going with Garmin g600 avionics, but should be possible to upgrade. However, If I could afford to buy a $5 million aircraft, I think I'd get a Saker S-1

Don’t touch anything Paul - you just sit there and try and look pretty !

2.2M? Screw that, for that money I’m getting a king air, faster, more comfortable, higher endurance, higher useful load

To have to go through all the b.s. and to the expense to get a "turbine" endorsement along with IFR for this non-replacement for Cirrus's "premium" single-engine spark-ignition single that is less than 1/3 (the "comparison" leaves out a whole bunch of expenses that aren't mentioned including the inability to refuel at anything but airports with Jet-A) the cost to buy and fly and who knows how much cheaper to insure and finance is just ridiculous since you'll still be short a multi-engine rating unless you want to or have to pay for that with absolutely no need for it. Making a significant mention of its "weather-avoidance" capabilities makes me think this thing is probably a VFR airplane if icing and/or significant precipitation sufficient to "drown" that engine and/or pelt the inside of the intake and fan with hailstones is even a remote possibility. Does it have any deicing equipment and how its it "weather-survival" capability up there in the flight levels where you don't just start dodging and ducking the yellow and red blotches on the "radar display" when all of a sudden cautious turns to alarmed? I gotta think a fuel hog like that with such low performance relative to its fuel consumption and "payload capacity" doesn't have a hell of a lot of "tolerance" for even a quick and thin layer of ice or "thick rain" much less some supercooled air and "hard water" ingested into that funnel of an intake. I'd kind of like to see some video of some "dead-stick" flying "at altitude" and in-flight restart and stall characteristics and recovery sans "flight envelope protection" and "autopilot" when the Captain Computer has clearly given up on flying the airplane and "alternate law" means the software engineers have programmed the computer to give "control" of the airplane to the "pilot" just in time to "fly" it to the scene of the crash. Pretty sure I'd never want to test the resistance of those avionics and "flight envelope protection" and "FADEC" systems to EMP from even a "distant" lightning strike, either. And call me stupid and "backward" for not being able to appreciate the "safety aspects" of such a brilliant "safety feature", but I'd just have a hell of a time ever buying or even riding in an airplane made by a company most famous among non-owner "aviation enthusiasts' for its built-in parachute.

Yes...."not burning much...58 gph". Wow lol. And... who doesn't enjoy the smell of kerosene anytime? me

Just need room for toilet ? Whoops another $600.000 ...

I think Cirrus should get Cirrus (haha) and put a f-16 GE F110 on to this, carbon wings and frame. so we can pull G's ! in all seriousness. it looks great. the interior needs work. the seats look terrible. any beautiful GT car or a cruiser like an aston martin the seats are really plush, with nice bolstering (wraps around you) the current looks like a bus seat

please change your intro sound

The boot leather looks very low quality.

useful load is kinda sad..... other then that not bad

No restroom?

Too bad it only has a max operating altitude of FL280. Popular single engine turboprops have higher max operating altitudes.

It needs to be a little faster, perhaps a newer engine.

Next doctor killer? If we as pilots are relying on the auto pilot and not getting the stick and rudder time that’s a problem in an emergency when shit hits the fan. Many crashes have come from pilots not being able to competently fly the airplane, especially at high altitude where the tolerances get much tighter. Air France 447, heavy ice loss of instrumentation and stalled the airplane straight to the water because they were so reliant on the automation of the airbus. Do us a favor and when your rich friend says they want to buy one tell them to hand fly every 3rd or 4th flight, keep those skills sharp.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="60">1:00</a> What the heck is up with that HUGE gap between the ceiling and the panel that has the light and dial??? Poor craftmanship?? Nice jet otherwise!

This thing is priced $1.96M?! I'd rather have a Cessna

Yeah, no, definitely, let’s amp up the background radio traffic over the two guys talking. Cuz that’s what we all came here to see...

400lbs for people and stuff. So 2 x 200lb guys and you've done 😧

Does seem like Paul has become disinterested and pissed-off or is it just me??

Basically, this plane is for rich people.

1st

Great review on a revolutionary plane for GA..."Yeshua(Jesus Christ) is the way"

He keeps mentioning "instruments" but I don't see an altimeter or alto saxophone anywhere in that cockpit.

Such a toy plane... I'd always go for a Mustang or TBM over this. No matter what.

so you have to wait 6 years to get one lol

Lets face it civil air craft are manufactured by company's using the same machines, the same materials, and the same engineering standards in manufacturing and assembly as any other vehicle manufacture in the world. So why is everything so f-ing expensive? I understand the extra costs in the need for having redundancy systems and avionics but other than that i don't get it. Example, just a rebuild for a standard air cooled flat six (a very simple very basic engine) is something like $30,000? for a rebuild? The parts certainly don't cost that much to make and those engines are simple to rebuild so whats up with the cost?

So much for keeping radio frequencies open for "business", huh?

It uses an old engine plus the Avionics look outdated.
