The $3.3M Personal Jet America's Wealthy Pilots Are Talking About

Cirrus SF50 G2+ Vision Jet: Collier Trophy-winning safety meets luxury cabin design

A 2024 Cirrus SF50 G2+ Vision Jet, currently listed at $3,299,900 with just 395 hours on the airframe, is catching the attention of America's high-net-worth individuals — and for good reason. This isn't just another personal jet. It's the aircraft that won the Collier Trophy, and it comes with a literal parachute for the entire plane.

What Makes the Vision Jet Different

Cirrus didn't build the Vision Jet to compete with Gulfstream or Bombardier. They built it for the owner-pilot who wants jet performance without a corporate flight department. The Williams FJ33-5A turbofan produces 1,850 pounds of thrust, pushing the aircraft to 311 knots at altitudes up to FL310 — above most weather, above most traffic, and above the 17,500-foot ceiling of Cirrus's legendary SR-series pistons.

The Safety Story

Cirrus built its reputation on the Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), and the Vision Jet carries that DNA forward. But the real breakthrough is Safe Return — Emergency Autoland. With the touch of a single button, the jet can automatically navigate to the nearest suitable airport and land. For owner-pilots with families onboard, that peace of mind is priceless.

JetStream Concierge Included

This particular airframe comes with Cirrus' JetStream concierge program fully paid through June 2026 or 405 hours. That covers maintenance support, trip planning, and the kind of white-glove service you'd expect from a fractional ownership program — but you own the aircraft outright.

The American Pilot's Jet

With thousands of airports across the U.S. accessible to the Vision Jet's short-field performance, the freedom of personal jet ownership in America is unmatched. Skip the TSA lines. Depart when you want. Arrive where you want. And if something goes wrong? The entire aircraft can parachute to safety.

At $3.3 million with Embark training included and no production backlog, this is as good a time as any to make the leap from "someday" to "wheels up."
