Cirrus Vision. Looks like a modernized Bonanza. Looks like it has a parachute. Hope it's Mach 1 capable.
In 2012, Cirrus's new owners, China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (CAIGA) funded the project to move ahead.
In February 2015 the City of Duluth had agreed to put up US$6M and had asked the state contribute the remaining US$4M to build a US$10M factory on the Duluth Airport dedicated to the production of SF50 Vision jets. The city would then try to recoup its costs for the facility from lease payments by Cirrus over time. The city is concerned that without the government support Cirrus will locate jet production elsewhere due to better incentives. This was confirmed by Cirrus CEO Dale Klapmeier and Duluth Mayor Don Ness, who both indicated that time is running out for the state to commit funds.

Don't think so. Company went bankrupt. I remember seeing one at an airshow in Albuquerque. I remember is seemed like a pretty cool little jet.

I think when the Eclipse was first introduced with all the hype, they thought it was going to be the next "Segway" and we all know where that ended up.
