The SR22, by Cirrus Design, is a high-performance single-engine, four-seat, composite aircraft. It is a more powerful version of the Cirrus SR20, with a larger wing, higher fuel capacity, and a 310 horsepower (231 kW) engine. It is extremely popular among purchasers of new aircraft and has been the world's best-selling single-engine, four-seat aircraft for several years [1]. Like the Lancair Columbia, but unlike most other high-performance aircraft, the SR22 has fixed (non-retractable) landing gear.

The plane is perhaps best known for being equipped with the Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System, an emergency parachute capable of lowering the entire aircraft (and occupants) to the ground in an emergency. Despite that until 2nd of december 2006 a total of 28 people has died in 40 accidents with the SR22 involved.
