Cirrus SR20

The Cirrus SR20 is an American piston-engine, four seat composite monoplane built by Cirrus Aircraft of Duluth, Minnesota since 1999. The SR20 was the first production general aviation aircraft equipped with a parachute to lower the airplane safely to the ground after a loss of control, structural failure or mid-air collision. It was also the first manufactured light aircraft with all-composite construction and flat- panel avionics. The SR20 led to the Cirrus SR22 in 2001, which is one of the most produced aircraft of the 21st century.
