Cirrus Jet - Pictures at last

[notmyC150v2]

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum or if it has been repeated elsewhere (tried to search but wouldn't search for Jet).

The proposed Cirrus Jet has finally been revealed here (http://www.the-jet.com/gallery.html).

I can't quite put my finger on it but the back of it looks somewhat familiar. Any thoughts?

[XRNZAF]

Thunderbird two.....:8

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

Hmmmmmm!

There is something very familiar about it.

Just can't quite put my finger on it either!

Stealth Fighter?

Dr:cool:

[CrazyMTOWDog]

Looks like a cross between a Bonanza, Skyhawk and lets see.......a Caribou!!!:}

[notmyC150v2]

FTDK

I thought you might be at the front of the line for one given it's similarity to your name sake:}

I wonder if they are paying design rights...

[Chimbu chuckles]

Hale the new Fork Tailed Doctor Killer:rolleyes:

[404 Titan]

Yep has the look of a V35 but also a V2 flying buzz bomb the Germans used on Britain during WW2.

Only if they guarantee I can get it in and out of 600 m !

...... and that it won't "melt" in the nth Qld sun.

No details, but they want us to kick in a hundred big ones to reserve a spot...:rolleyes:

Looks nice, hopefully the performance will match the venerable V-35, especially the carrying capacity!:ok:

PS: I wonder if it will wag its tail like the BE35?

[squawk6969]

I wonder if the boys in Bundy have any bright ideas for a JabiJet:}

I bet the Dr was getting quite a turn on from that Press Release.

Chuck, keep him away from your plane with the new paint job.....or bring a chamois!:cool:

Jabawocky, you're a cheeky b*gger - and you're WRONG!

Plastic fantastic just doesn't do it for me. I had a plastic toy aeroplane when I was a kid.

Dr:cool:

[neville_nobody]

That aeroplane desgin was from about 1982. I have seen ads in old flying mags with a texan dude in a big hat flying his new single engine private jet. Not sure of who propose it originally but it's the same plane, except for the V tail.

The name started with V I think.

[Howard Hughes]

Not thinking about the early Visionaire Vantage are you, which was a little later than 1982?:ok:

[squawk6969]

Dr:cool:

You are a harsh bugger! But how many G's is yours good for........:uhoh:

Nev, me old mate!

The design dates from 1945/6. Originally credited to Walter Beech. Its a Bonanza V35 !!!!! :E:D:ok:

That was no Texan it was FTDK!

Oh well Texan, Queenslander, they're all the same aren't they?;)

[squawk6969]

HH

I have a pic of the FTDK in a big hat:}:}

For a small fee I could post it:rolleyes: Might take a bit, my laptop is on the blink, but its all backed up:ok:

[OZBUSDRIVER]

Short couple is going to make for some fun when it gets choppy. First impression is- Is this the offspring of a Global Hawk and a Bo:}

[Peter Fanelli]

Neville N you are thinking of the Gulfstream Peregrine with the Texan and his hat. Apart from the fact that both have one engine there is no similarity at all.

[notmyC150v2]

Hey Doc, your picture of the v35 looks just like the Weipa Aerial - same colours and all. Just coincidence??

Mind you it's been 30 years since I last saw it so I could be mistaken :}

[jumpuFOKKERjump]

There are similarities in appearance with this prototype, probably not in role though...

Though, the fuzzy area beneath and no visible wheels remind me of this...

Looks fantastic, inside and out, a European sportscar rather than a Septic Spam Can.

Pure co-incidence mate! I lifted that pic off the web and removed its November number on Photoshop.
Cheers
Dr

[canadair]

hey, Cirrus has designed the follow on 21st century V tail doctor killer!
that will fill a void.

[Chimbu chuckles]

Yeah...what was that saying..."She went down faster than a Bonanza full of Doctors":E

Just joking:ok:

[MCKES]

Wow its definately different:confused:

[Andy_RR]
