What believers are saying

  • H1 2026 revenue rose 24% to $737 million, with net profit up 35.6%.
  • Orders and reservations jumped to 398, while deliveries increased 16% to 405 aircraft.
  • Grand Forks expansion and Duluth Talent Center raise capacity and hiring for 2026-2027.

What critics are saying

  • TRAC10 deliveries start 2027, so execution slips can defer revenue and orders.
  • Backlog above 1,000 aircraft means customers wait one to two years, inviting defections.
  • A fatal CAPS-related crash could trigger FAA scrutiny, lawsuits, and brand damage.

What makes Cirrus Aircraft unique

  • CAPS standardizes whole-airframe parachutes across SR Series and Vision Jet, unlike rivals.
  • TRAC10 targets flight schools with three-seat training and Garmin AXIS avionics.
  • Cirrus combines composite airframes, safety automation, and premium cabin design into one brand.

Cirrus backlog tops 1,000 aircraft.

Cirrus backlog tops 1,000 aircraft. Manufacturer reports higher deliveries and revenue as aircraft orders continue to keep pace with production. Thursday, August 27, 2026 at 02:18 PM ET Key takeaways: Cirrus Aircraft said Wednesday its order backlog remains above 1,000 airplanes after the manufacturer reported higher deliveries and revenue for the first half of 2026. Cirrus delivered 405 aircraft during the six-month period, up 16% from 350 a year earlier. Revenue increased 24% to $737 million from $594 million. Orders keep pace with deliveries. Orders and reservations reached 398 aircraft during the first half, compared to 241 during the same period in 2025. The company reported a book-to-bill ratio of 0.98, meaning the company received nearly as many new aircraft orders as it completed deliveries. The company did not provide a model-by-model breakdown of its backlog. "Our backlog is healthy. Depending on make and model, you have to wait anywhere from one to two years to take delivery, which keeps the used market very healthy too," Cirrus CEO Zean Nielsen said during the company's earnings call. "Our book-to-bill is almost one to one." Aircraft sales generated $617 million in first-half revenue, up from $498 million a year earlier. Revenue from Cirrus Services and other operations increased from $96 million to $120 million. Net income rose to approximately $88.1 million from about $65 million during the first half of 2025. Cirrus adds production capacity. The results follow the Aug. 14 opening of an expanded Cirrus manufacturing facility in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The project added more than 30,000 square feet and increased space for composite manufacturing. The facility produces components for the SR Series and Vision Jet and will also manufacture composites for the new TRAC10 training aircraft. "In the first half of 2026, we had a book-to-bill of nearly 1 at 0.98, which means we really had as many orders as units delivered to end customers, keeping our overall backlog very strong as we continued to increase our production capacity," Cirrus CFO George Letten said during the earnings call. Cirrus is preparing to begin TRAC10 production ahead of planned deliveries in 2027. Nielsen said the company has been increasing production to gradually reduce delivery waits and is targeting a backlog that would eventually represent roughly one year of production.

New high-tech composite center for 300 employees in central Switzerland begins operations.

New high-tech composite center for 300 employees in central Switzerland begins operations. Publisher: Dana Ermolenko With its striking new "Schwarzhorn" building, Pilatus has officially opened an ultra-modern center of advanced composite competence in canton Nidwalden: effective immediately, the development and production of composite components will be united under one roof for the first time. The new building provides state-of-the-art workplaces for around 300 employees and has been designed to meet the highest standards of sustainability. Pilatus CEO Markus Bucher commented: "With this building, Pilatus is once again reaffirming its commitment to Switzerland as a place of innovation, manufacturing, and training - and to our sustainable development here at our home base, where our roots lie. Costing 100 million Swiss francs, this building is the most expensive facility we have invested in to date." Composites - also known as fiber-reinforced materials - have been used since over 40 years at Pilatus, but only for non-load-bearing secondary structures such as covers and cowlings. The PC-24 Super Versatile Jet marks a departure from this in that composite materials are now used for primary structural components as well: composite load-bearing control surfaces represent an important technological development in aircraft construction because they are lighter, and therefore contribute to fuel savings. Pilatus plans to expand the use of composites in the future. Named after a Swiss mountain and the color of the composite components, the "Schwarzhorn" building brings all the process steps together under one roof - from delivery and storage of raw materials through to component production, subassembly, and surface treatment, to storage and order picking. The components are delivered directly to the final assembly as finished kits. The largely self-sufficient composite production process allows all the disciplines involved to concentrate fully on value-adding activities. The manufacturing areas also provide the opportunity to use state-of-the-art manufacturing and inspection technologies in the future and to further automate production steps. The close collaboration between manufacturing and development is another key aspect associated with the new building. In addition to production technology, the "Schwarzhorn" is also setting new standards in terms of energy-related performance. Photovoltaic installations on the roof and facades, plus the use of process-related waste heat and groundwater for heating and cooling respectively, significantly reduce the need for energy from external sources. Another first for Pilatus is the company's goal of obtaining LEED Platinum certification for the new building. This internationally recognized label stands for sustainable construction and focuses on resource conservation, environmental protection and reduction of energy and water consumption.
