Cirrus Sr20 G6 vs Cirrus Sr22 G6 vs Cirrus Sr22t G6 vs Cirrus Vision Jet G2 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Epic Aircraft E1000
The Cirrus SR20 G6, SR22 G6, and SR22T G6 are single‑engine piston airplanes in the personal/owner‑flown category. All typically seat five (often used as four plus baggage). In general, the SR20 has the shortest range of the three, the normally aspirated SR22 goes farther, and the turbocharged SR22T is comparable or better at higher altitudes and in hotter conditions, with range still in the same overall piston‑single bracket. Stepping up, the Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is a single‑engine very light jet aimed at owner‑operators, commonly configured for five passengers plus a pilot (with flexibility by layout), and it offers a notably longer range than the piston SR series. The Daher TBM 960 and Epic Aircraft E1000 are single‑engine turboprops in the high‑performance personal/corporate category. They typically seat six (sometimes up to seven depending on configuration) and generally deliver substantially more range than the Vision Jet, with the TBM 960 often cited among the longest‑range single‑engine turboprops, and the E1000 in a similar long‑range class.
