Cirrus Jet - Pictures at last
 

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.

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

F-A-B Mr Tracy
 

Thunderbird two.....:8

Hmmmmmm!

There is something very familiar about it.

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

Stealth Fighter?

Dr:cool:

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

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...

Hale the new Fork Tailed Doctor Killer:rolleyes:

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

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

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.

Dr:cool:

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:

Dr:cool:

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

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:

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.

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

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:

Dr:cool:

That was no Texan it was FTDK!

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

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:

SQ:E

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:}

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.
