The G7+ Revolution
With nearly 10,000 aircraft delivered since 1999, the SR Series has been the beating heart of personal aviation. The G7+ represents not just a refresh, but a philosophical evolution: the fusion of digital intelligence, luxury design, and intuitive flight systems.
The G7+ serves as the perfect gateway to jet ownership, offering a seamless transition path from piston to turbine aircraft. It's not just about learning to fly—it's about experiencing the future of aviation today.
The Game-Changer — Safe Return™
World's First FAA-Approved Autonomous Emergency Landing
The SR Series G7+ features the world's first FAA-approved autonomous emergency landing system integrated into a single-engine piston aircraft. Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland provides the pilot and passengers with an automated landing option in an emergency.
How It Works
- Advanced sensors and sophisticated algorithms
- Automated flight control systems
- Automatic ATC communication
- Terrain and weather avoidance
- Complete landing sequence to full stop
- Automatic engine shutdown
With the push of a button, Safe Return™ Emergency Autoland takes control of the aircraft, communicates with air traffic control, navigates to the nearest airport, performs a terrain- and weather-avoiding landing, comes to a complete stop, and shuts down the engine.
