CARY, N.C. (Oct. 19, 2010)—Lord Corp. has partnered with Cirrus Aircraft to provide an engine attach system for the Cirrus Vision SF50.
Cirrus Aircraft is designing the single-engine, low-wing, small jet as a light-weight aircraft for personal use, with a target range of 1,000 miles at a maximum cruise speed of 300 knots.
Kyle Zimmerman, senior engineer, Fixed Wing Engineering/Product Development for Lord, said the company worked with Cirrus to create a mount that will reduce noise and vibration induced by the engine on the aircraft and is lighter than originally specified.
