The SR-series remains the only production airplane in its class to include side stick flight controls that combine aspects of a traditional yoke handle (referred to in the industry as a "side yoke"). The four-seat cabin is accessed through doors on both sides of the fuselage. It is powered by a nose-mounted 310 hp (231 kW) Continental IO-550-N piston engine. The SR22 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane of composite construction, featuring fixed (non-retractable) tricycle landing gear with a castering nose wheel and steering via differential braking on the main wheels. Production of the aircraft started in 2001. The SR22, certified in November 2000, is a more powerful version of the earlier SR20. This has contributed to its market success and has given it the nickname "the plane with the parachute".
The Cirrus SR22 is equipped with a whole-plane emergency recovery parachute system: the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS). With 6,149 units delivered from 2001–19, and in combination with the SR20, a total of 7,645, it is the most-produced GA aircraft of the 21st century, and is the single most-produced GA aircraft made from composite material, accounting for over 30% of the entire piston aircraft market.
