The way a pilot paints their airplane makes a statement—whether it’s quiet elegance or bold action. And aircraft manufacturers generally go to great lengths to select the colors and appointments both inside and out that speak to their customer base. In doing so, sometimes they end up with so many choices that the results a pilot wishes to achieve are hard to visualize.
To help solve this, Cirrus Aircraft launched its new aircraft configurator at the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo this week. FLYING had a chance to try it out at the OEM’s chalet on the flight line—and it takes the selection process to a new level.
