Better Aircraft - Cirrus Vision SF50 vs TBM 940

Hey guys welcome to a brand new video. Today we will be taking a look at 2 single engine aircraft but not the same type of engine. One has a jet engine, the next is turboprop. This will be our first comparison video where we compare a jet to a turboprop. yet alone a single engine jet. Our first aircraft is the The Cirrus Vision SF50. Next is the TBM 940.

Payload (lack of) kills the VisionJet SF50. Load more than two people (or even 1 heavyweight + bags) and you have to start cutting back on fuel, which makes its useful range significantly less than stated. Whilst the SF50 has some nice cabin features, the TBM is by far the better aeroplane. Costs more as well, but there is little real comparison between the two.TBM wins every time!

Maybe you could have the performance statistics on the screen as well....thanks

[creativityworld]

it should be vision sf50 vs eclipse 550

I'm lucky to be able to afford a computer that can run Flight Simulator 2020 so that I can fly anything like these planes / jets.

Rather buy an L39. Blows both of them out of the sky. Millions cheaper too.

[letsgobrandon]

If I had the money to buy either one of these, I would buy a yacht

Definitely the TBM 940 is the better airplane. Payload and range are the main arguments as well as the cabin volume. And despite nacelle anti icing the little tiny jets are extremely sensitive of getting ice particles in the compressor and therefore risking an engine flameout.

When you compare certain facts, it would be nice to have them in written form, too.

[jackmcdaniel]

Marlin, You rattled off lots of numbers during this video. It would be nice if you threw those numbers up in some type of chart or graph.

My money is on the Cirrus Vision Jet, it's the Toyota of the private jets. I don't want to sell my kidney just for an annual overhaul of the TBM.

I am in fact getting the TBM 940, and I have always known it was the best choice for me. It is a very unique single engine turboprop that meets all of my requirements, and has unrivalled capabilities. It flys at VLJ speeds, at less cost, and with superior STOL performance that means it can get into and out of airports that VLJ aircraft cannot. In my opinion, it is the ultimate aircraft in the world for the owner/pilot. Selecting the TBM was not much of a choice for me, as it simply is the most incredible aircraft that fits my needs perfectly. It's almost as if the TBM were made for me, rather than an aircraft that I selected. There frankly is no competitor that even comes close.

My family has an SF50 on order, but the delivery date is delayed. We're really excited once production resumes.

You need to put the comparison numbers side by side on screen or the narrated information becomes useless.

Great video. It's in hot weather (like all the time this summer!) where the differences really show. On a 95F day at sea level the Cirrus Jet at 6, 000 pounds takeoff weight requires 4, 988 feet to clear a 50 foot obstacle. That is at sea level and it only gets worse as you go West in the US. That rules out the use of a lot of smaller, inexpensive local airports. In contrast, the TBM weighing 7, 394 (1, 394 pounds more than the Cirrus) under the same conditions only uses 1, 880 ft for ground roll and clears a 50-ft obstacle in 2, 595 ft. The TBM will then fly 1, 730 NM non-stop at long-range cruise. On ice or snow contaminated runways the TBM has the safety of propeller reverse which will stop the aircraft before the first taxiway turnoff every time. Not so on the Cirrus Jet which doesn't have autobrake or thrust reversers. There's a big real world performance difference between the two airplanes.

VerAy good video ! But I recommend to keep a card with the numbers you say for each side by side so we can also see the numbers not only hear it!

The Vision jet loses on paper. In the real world though it wins. If the SF50 fits your mission profile it could be a good fit. For a wealthy individual with no flying time Cirrus has a fast track path to get them in the SF50 in very short time. Get your private and instrument ratings in the SR20/22 and by the time you have about 150 hours you move to the jet. Get the type rating and fly another 50 hours with a mentor. You can do all of this in three to 6 months time. From zero to hero jet pilot. After that if there’s a need for more capability you could get a twin rating and move up to a used CJ3+. Cirrus has created a good ecosystem for pilots to grow their skills and work toward that jet rating.

It’s hard to follow so many performance numbers. Add them so we can read and follow or create a map, graph or something to make it easier to follow. Cool voice!

[sammalone]

TBM. More upfront costs yes but after that it just seems to make more sense with payload speed and other variables.

[tomearly]

The Vision Jet SF50 is half the price of the TBM 940. Let's see how the TBM 940 stacks up against something closer in price like the Honda Jet.

Technically a turboprop is a jet engine with prop and gearing.
