The Cirrus Vision |
The
Cirrus Vision SF50 is an exciting
new single-engine, low-wing,
seven-seat, "personal jet". Our
recreation of this unique aircraft
represents the most advanced
techniques in 3D mesh design for
smooth and realistic aircraft shape,
and custom and faithfully
represented aircraft
instrumentation.
The Vision will seat seven people,
with the cockpit, second row and the
third row each seating two. The
aircraft's aerodynamic V-tail design
was created by Cirrus using computer
models with the aim of increasing
performance.
The aircraft's aerodynamic design has been
modified based on the test flights completed and
the use of computer models with the aim of
increasing performance. Changes include altering
the engine thrust angle, which has made a large
improvement. On the final production aircraft
the right side door has been eliminated to save
weight. The door will be replaced by an
emergency egress hatch. The production aircraft
will also have a more pointed nose, larger belly
section, redesigned wing-root fairing, reduced
tail sweep and a larger or even dual ventral
fin.

In December 2006 Cirrus
announced that the Visions will be the
"slowest, lowest, and cheapest jet
available."
Powered by a single Williams FJ33-4A-19
engine, producing 1,900 pounds-force
(8,500 N) of thrust for a cruise
speed of about 300 knots, the SF50 seats
seven people. |

Virtual Cockpit |
 |
The Vision virtual
cockpit is represented in fine detail,
using all of the cutting edge techniques
available for Flight Simulator X, and
represents a commitment to our level of
detail in both aircraft and flight
modeling.
|
The Vision uses a custom
made Garmin G1000 flight deck. An
all-glass avionics suite design
that makes flight information
easier to scan and process,
enhancing situational awareness,
simplicity and safety to the
cockpit.

|
| Reccommended System
Specs |
|
|
Microsoft Flight Simulator
X SP2, or Flight Simulator X Steam Edition, or Prepar3D required. |
|
|
Dual
Core microprocessor or
higher with 2 GHz MHz + speed and 4 MB RAM minimum. 8 MB RAM
recommended. |
|
|
Windows
8, 7, Vista or XP. 32 or 64
bit. |
|
|
Nvidia or ATI Radeon based 3D accelerator video
card with full antialiasing and T&L lighting capability and a
minimum of 512 MB onboard RAM. |
|
|
SoundBlaster Live or equivalent
128-bit DirectX sound device. |
|
|
Up-to-date DirectX video and sound drivers. |
| Obviously, higher end systems with
quad-core
processors and 3.0 GHz+ speed
CPU, 4+ GB system RAM and 1024+ MB or preferably video RAM will perform
much better. |
