Cirrus began investigating the possibility of a single-engine, personal-use business jet in the early 2000s. This idea remained a concept for several years until Cirrus officially announced the development of a small business aircraft in June 2006 at the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association meeting. This model went through a lengthy design and development process. However, ten years after it was announced, the Cirrus Vision Jet took the aviation and private jet market by storm.
