It would be interesting to see how many of these are still viable 40 or 50 years from now. Then again, by that time I'm not likely to be here and/or care.Wow ,how big can the market be ? Who ever thought fiberglass airplanes would take over the market. Congrats to Cirrus

Sure are a lot of 1%ers out there
almost half as many Bonanzas....
Yeah these days it feels like 1 out of every 100 people you encounter is one.
How many 1998 Cirrus will we see at Oshkosh in 2050?
If you were designing an airplane to sell today, what design life would you target?
Oh chute....Statistically, 60% of the time, every time, those 1 out of 100 are 1%ers.
Infinite. Every piece would be replaceable.I'm not sure they are intended to last 40 years. Pretty sure the 1960s aluminum airplanes weren't designed to last 60 years, or even 40.

Sort of like the guy that said he owned George Washington's axe. Of course the handle had been replaced several dozen times and the blade had been replaced around twenty times, but it was still the same axe.
