CIRRUS ROLLS OUT 'THE JET'
Now this IS rather revolutionary: ------------------------------------------------------------------- AVwebALERT AVweb Breaking News Alert -- June 27, 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS, VISIT: http://www.avweb.com The Big Reveal CIRRUS ROLLS OUT 'THE JET' (http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news..._198192-1.html) Well, we still don't know its real name and we're not sure if it got out of the massive former Northwest Airlines A320 maintenance hangar on its own power but it sure looks like Cirrus's new family jet is ready to fly. ...EAA AirVenture are hoping for as the jet is obviously nearing first flight. The aircraft was formally introduced exactly a year ago at last year's Cirrus Migration and more than 400 refundable deposits of $100,000 have been received.

I wondered the same thing on the exhaust but I think the engine exhaust nozzle sits up higher off the fuselage than the photos do it justice.

If the aft end is made of Ti or the like it wouldn't matter, but no matter what I expect after a few hundred hours the paint back there is going to be compromised. This reminds me of a handbuilt wooden canoe I saw on display up in Maine once. It was so perfect I'd now have wanted to risk scratching its bottom on lakebed, let alone in quick water. This airplane is like that -- it looks like it belongs in a Modern Art Museum, as a concept. I hope it flies as nicely as it looks.

CIRRUS ROLLS OUT 'THE JET'
There's so much I don't know about airplane design, but don't recall
ever seeing structure so close to the exhaust plume of a jet engine before. I'd have guessed having thrust be in line with the center of gravity would have been a design goal, but they know more about design than I ever will. Never the less, what a beautiful airplane that is. Do they take American Express? IIRC, some of the very early jets--especially German--were built exactly this way. It should have an added advantage in being unlikely to injest foreign matter from the ground or thrown by the tires; but early rotation has been an issue on various jets in the past. In any case, it is very, very cool! Peter

In any case, it is very, very cool! The thrust line looks off to me for good low speed handling during power changes. My concern would be handling and COG issues for T/O/L . Fuse may look slippery but that nacelle looks too unfaired. The D-jet looks like better aeronautical design to my eye -the engine has been included in the aerodynamics rather than being an add on power pod. I wait with interest the first flight tests... My 2c Cheers

It wasn't anywhere near as close to structure, but in any case it's not all that much of a problem temp wise if that's what was meant. It should have an added advantage in being unlikely to injest foreign matter from the ground or thrown by the tires; but early rotation has been an issue on various jets in the past. How do you mean?
