The SF50 single engine jet went through several delays during and after the economic downturn from the global recession in 2008 when development couldn't proceed due to insufficient cash flow. After Cirrus' acquisition by China Aviation Industry General Aircraft, the project continued to move full speed ahead and by 2013 3 prototypes were constructed for final certification.

In March of 2014 the first conforming prototype came off the line and made its first flight. This prototype was built on the final production line to specs based on information from FAA certification agreements, and has met the same approved standard as the scheduled customer delivered aircraft which will happen early 2015.

The SF50 has an all composite airframe, a complete glass cockpit from Garmin, and can cruise at 345 mph. The airplane is also equipped with the Ballistic Recovery System (BRS) whole aircraft parachute which has seen great success especially in a recent rash of life saving incidents involving SR22s.
