Cirrus Design confirmed that the public unveiling of its Vision SJ50 jet will take place at EAA AirVenture on Wednesday at about 2:15. The aircraft first flew July 3 and has been undergoing initial flight testing in Duluth. The company had hoped to bring the aircraft to Oshkosh but CEO Alan Klapmeier said it would depend on the progress of the flight testing and the discretion of the test pilots. The aircraft was announced 13 months ago and has been under development for four years.
