Cirrus Aircraft Unveils Advanced 2026 SR Series G7+ with Cutting-Edge Safety Features
Cirrus Aircraft has announced significant enhancements to its 2026 SR Series G7+ aircraft lineup (SR20, SR22, SR22T). On January 7, 2026, the company introduced a new generation of aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art safety and connectivity features.
The standout feature of this new generation is the Safe Return Emergency Autoland technology. This groundbreaking technology can automatically land the aircraft if the pilot becomes incapacitated, marking a first for production piston aircraft in this class.
Key Upgrades
- Automatic Database Updates: Powered by Cirrus IQ PRO Advanced, these updates ensure the aircraft’s database is always current.
- Runway Occupancy Awareness: This feature enhances safety during takeoff and landing.
- Smart Pitot Heat: This innovative technology prevents the Pitot tube from freezing.
Connectivity has been substantially enhanced with the expanded Cirrus Global Connect capabilities. These offer integrated global weather and communication solutions. Weather updates now occur automatically every five minutes during flight. This provides pilots with real-time information on storm cell movement, turbulence, icing, and surface visibility.
Cabin Features
The cabin has been upgraded with high-power USB-C ports throughout. There are two 60-watt ports in the front and two 100-watt ports in the rear cabin. An optional Starlink integration is also available.
Cirrus continues to dominate the high-performance piston aircraft market, consistently ranking as one of the best-selling aircraft in its category.
