SJ-50 Vision Update, With Cirrus President Brent Wouters
Today, ANN's Jim Campbell talks with Cirrus Aircraft President
Brent Wouters about the company's efforts to transition from
R&D to production of the Cirrus Vision SJ-50 jet. That move is
happening somewhat faster than some in the industry had expected,
and Wouters says this is an example of the company's efforts to
move forward "better, cheaper, faster" during admittedly difficult
times.
Note: This is a Two-Part feature, but ANN is
making both parts available on the same day due to the significance
of Wouter's comments... particularly in light of the industry-wide
cutbacks seen in recent months.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
The FAA's pace at battling airframe icing frustrates the
NTSB...
FAA responds by releasing an icing fact sheet...
And everyone walks away from a hard landing by a commuter
jet in London.
