Cessna TTx vs Cirrus SR22T
The Cirrus SR22T and the Cessna TTx are two of the fastest turbocharged piston singles — and like the SR22 before it, the SR22T vs TTx choice comes down to a parachute. The SR22T is the turbo-normalised, high-flying Cirrus built around the CAPS whole-airframe parachute; the TTx (no longer in production) is the turbocharged composite speed king — faster, but with no chute. Where each stands on the used market is below.

Cirrus SR22T
Which Should You Buy: Cessna TTx or Cirrus SR22T?
Bottom line: Choose the SR22T for high-altitude performance with a safety net — turbo-normalised climb, a glass cockpit, the largest support network in the class and the CAPS parachute. Choose the TTx for outright speed and a slick composite airframe, accepting no parachute and a used-only market. On safety the SR22T offers a last-resort parachute the TTx simply does not — against which the TTx offers more speed for the money. High-altitude pace with a parachute, or raw speed without one.
Pick the TTx if…
- Lower operating cost — ~$195/hr vs $210/hr.
- Faster cruise — 235 kts vs 213 kts.
- Longer range — 1250 nm vs 1021 nm.
- Newer design — production from 2013 vs 2010.
Pick the SR22T if…
- Budget matters — from $349,900 vs $364,600, you save ~$14,700.
- More seats — 5 vs 4.
- More inventory — 304 listings vs 23.
