The second conforming Cirrus Vision SF50 jet single, dubbed “C-One” (C1), joined the flight-test fleet on November 25, achieved a 45-minute maiden flight after lifting off from Duluth International Airport at 3:30 p.m. CST. The all-composite, single-engine jet joins the first certification flight-test SF50, “C-Zero” (C0), which has logged nearly 150 flights and 220 hours since it began flying on March 24.
