Sporting a glass cockpit & ultra sophisticated avionics, the Cirrus SR-22 is the worlds best selling single engine aircraft. Putting aside the many reasons why it is so popular to purchase (the quick cruising speeds & plush interior), many private flyers feel safer due to the Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System(CAPS), which if in an emergency is capable of lowering the entire aircraft to a land with passengers on board.
