The SR20 has been transformed into an aircraft with more features than ever ... while reducing weight. It features one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios in the industry. We’ve made the wing stronger and increased useful load.

Two inches (5.1 cm) taller than its predecessor, the SR20’s ramp presence and stance are very striking. Exterior improvements abound – like the restyled wheel pants and drag-reducing NACA air intake, optional LED wing tip recognition lights, and restyled wing root fairings. Inside are more changes – including the new single piece interior bolster panel design with backlit control switches.

The heart of our new wing design is a carbon-fiber spar (produced in an autoclave), which reduces the airplane’s overall weight and provides an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio while also increasing the useful load.

The maximum Gross Take Off Weight of the 2008 SR20 is 3,050 lb (1,383 kg). 50 lb (23 kg) more than the previous model, your useful load has increased substantially ... so you can take more with you wherever you fly.

With its 56-gallon (212-litres) usable wet-wing fuel storage system, you can reach destinations over 700 nm away without a fuel stop.

The main landing gear has been reengineered to increase the airplane height by two inches (5.1 cm). This provides greater prop and tail clearance when landing on less-than-ideal runway surfaces.

Designed into the new wing tips, LED recognition lights – standard on SR20-GTS – increase your visibility of the airport environment during taxi, takeoff, and landing at night. They also make it easier to "see and be seen" by other aircraft, increasing your chances of collision avoidance, both day and night.

Increased dihedral improves lateral stability, providing a more balanced and fluid feel.

Wing root fairings have been redesigned to reduce drag and increase climb efficiency.

Fresh airflow on Generation Three aircraft has increased by 40 percent, and the airflow has more than doubled in full heat mode. We’ve increased the hot air temperature by 30° F (16.7° C). You’ll also find the system smoother and easier to operate.

The WAAS-certified GNS 430W provides vertical guidance, in the WAAS coverage area, much like a glideslope on an ILS approach, giving you precision approach capability into some of the most remote airports in the country. Coupled with the simple-to-use and sophisticated S-TEC 55X autopilot with roll-steer function (GPSS), GNS 430W gives the pilot added ability to fly holding patterns and procedure turns automatically.
