The safety aspect of the announcement is in keeping with the company’s philosophy based on a long-ago quote from one of its two co-founders, Alan Klapmeier: “The penalty for a mistake or bad luck should not be death.” Cirrus was founded in 1984 by Alan and his brother Dale Klapmeier.

The addition of Safe Return to its piston aircraft, after originally offering the feature only on its Vision Jet, is another in a series of safety innovations from Cirrus. The most famous one, of course, is its Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, a standard feature on all its aircraft. The company’s focus on safety appears to be delivering strong business results. Publicly traded Cirrus is the now world’s third-largest aircraft manufacturer by units delivered for general aviation, according to their figures compiled from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association and corporate annual reports. It has delivered over 10,000 of its SR Series, including over 1,200 in just the last two years. The SR Series comprises nearly 50% unit market share and over 60% revenue market share.
