Cirrus SR22T

The Cirrus SR22T is the turbocharged version of the Cirrus SR22 single-engine light aircraft. Cirrus announced it to its owners group on 18 June 2010, offering a 315 horsepower Continental TSIO-550-K twin-turbocharged engine that was developed jointly by Continental and Cirrus engineers. The engine uses low-compression pistons, which Cirrus pointed to as a route to running on lower-octane, lead-free fuel. The SR22T also brought new cabin heating hardware and was claimed to give better takeoff and climb performance, lower noise and a higher useful load than the previous turbo-normalized SR22 Turbo conversion. It is one of the three certificated SR-series models alongside the SR20 and SR22.
