Introduction
If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own jet—but not something the size of a Gulfstream—the Cirrus Vision Jet G2+ may be the answer. It’s sleek, innovative, and incredibly accessible (by private jet standards). As the only single-engine certified personal jet in the world, the G2+ offers comfort, safety, and tech rarely found in aircraft under $4 million.
Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or new to private aviation, the Vision Jet is redefining what personal flying looks like in 2024.

- Real-time weather and traffic displays
The autothrottle system (added in the G2+ version) makes flying even smoother, reducing pilot workload and increasing fuel efficiency.
4. Safety: The Jet With a Parachute
What really sets the Vision Jet apart? The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)—a whole-aircraft parachute system that can bring the jet down safely in emergencies.
Also included:
- Autoland emergency system (Safe Return™): If a passenger presses one button, the aircraft lands itself automatically at the nearest airport.
- Envelope protection and anti-stall tech
- Terrain avoidance and real-time monitoring
These features make the G2+ one of the safest personal aircraft on the market.
5. Performance & Operating Costs

It’s a jet you can land in places larger aircraft simply can’t go, opening up thousands of airports in North America alone.
6. Ownership Experience
Cirrus offers a world-class ownership package:
- Concierge-level support
- Maintenance programs

The Vision Jet G2+ is ideal for missions under 3 hours with 3–5 passengers. It’s not a long-hauler, but it’s the most efficient and stylish way to fly short-haul.
