Com mais de 350 aviões Cirrus leves monomotores em serviço no Brasil, o representante da empresa no país embarcou no Cirrus Road Show de 2013 para visitar clientes em potencial em nove locais de seis cidades diferentes.
Segundo o representante exclusivo Sérgio Beneditti, os eventos começaram em junho incluindo o SR22 Grand e continuarão até o final de novembro, em parceria com algumas entidades não relacionadas à aviação no segmento de luxo – de iates e marinas até automóveis de luxo.
Um total de 44 destes eventos foram realizados em sete anos e Beneditti atribui um aumento de 10 por cento nas vendas nos primeiros seis meses de 2013 a este trabalho de marketing. Cada parada inclui “reuniões com clientes, amigos e parceiros por um ou mais dias, com voos demonstrativos, coquetéis, música ao vivo e mais.”
Na LABACE 2013, a Cirrus (cabine 6112) está exibindo seu SR22 Generation 5 Grand e SR20. Também na LABACE, a empresa está discutindo seu programa para jatos monomotores Vision SF50, mas ainda é cedo para ver uma maquete. A Cirrus está no momento numa corrida para ser a primeira a trazer um jato monomotor ao mercado e contratou mais de 100 engenheiros, designers e técnicos para o time da Vision.
Com mudanças na linha de produção em andamento, as entregas do Cirrus Generation 5 em fevereiro apoiadas por um grande acúmulo de pedidos de vendas realizados desde o final de 2012. Este acúmulo agora está “vários meses à frente,” Segundo o fabricante com base em Grand Forks, na Dakota do Norte.
“Estamos acompanhando a mais alta procura dos últimos cinco anos e certamente desde a crise financeira mundial, que afetou a aviação de maneira tão significativa,” disse Todd Simmons, vice-presidente executivo de vendas, marketing e suporte ao consumidor da Cirrus. “Parece que mais e mais conversas são sobre novos aviões, como um avião pode incrementar um negócio e, é claro, aventuras no ar.”
O avião da geração 5 inclui uma modificação na célula necessária para alcançar melhorias significativas no SR22 e SR22T. Na criação do Generation 5, todo o desenho da aeronave foi analisado do spinner à cauda e várias partes e sistemas foram reprojetados e redesenhados para acomodar a maior carga da célula, melhorias aerodinâmicas, melhor performance de voo e o sistema de para-quedas de célula da Cirrus (CAPS, na sigla em inglês).
Outras melhorias na célula incluem reforço na fibra de carbono, longarina da asa de peça única, trem de pouso e um novo sistema de flapes que permite extensão até a primeira posição a 150 nós. “Nós também demos grandes passos para acelerar o programa de jatos Vision SF50 enquanto temos o objetivo de voar o primeiro modelo conforme a certificação dentro dos próximos doze meses,” disse o co-fundador e CEO Dale Klapmeier em abril deste ano.
