PTC Customer Cirrus Aircraft to Display Award-Winning First Single Engine Personal Jet at LiveWorx 18PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced that long-time customer Cirrus Aircraft will display its Vision® Jet, a recipient of the prestigious 2017 Robert J. Collier Trophy, at this year's sold-out LiveWorx digital transformation conference. Designed and developed using PTC's Creo® CAD software and PTC's Windchill® collaboration software, the Vision Jet was lauded by the National Aeronautic Association for revolutionizing general and personal aviation as the world's first single-engine Personal Jet™. "Exciting new technologies are changing the world of product design, and we're honored to play a role in Cirrus Aircraft's innovative approach to developing its transformational jet," said Matt Cohen, executive vice president, Field Operations, PTC. "We congratulate the team on its exalted recognition, and enthusiastically welcome them to the esteemed company of LiveWorx 2018's disruptive technology showcases." The Vision Jet created a new category in aviation and further defined its significance with the inclusion of the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®). Unique to Cirrus Aircraft since the launch of the irst SR Series aircraft in 1999, CAPS is the first FAA-certified whole airframe parachute system included as standard equipment on an aircraft and has continuously redefined safety in aviation. The inclusion of CAPS on the Vision Jet marks a major engineering milestone in the design and development of jet aircraft and signifies the ability to further transform aircraft safety at heights and speeds never before imagined. In concert with keynote presentations from aviation and space research pioneers like William H. Gerstenmaier, associate administrator, Human Exploration and Operations, NASA, the Cirrus Aircraft Vision Jet adds another dimension to the LiveWorx experience. PTC selected Cirrus Aircraft to participate in a demonstration of its next generation capabilities using PTC's breakthrough augmented reality technology, the Vuforia® Studio platform, at this year's LiveWorx. This solution has the potential to intelligently guide owners through essential daily maintenance tasks, such as aircraft preflight checks. "With a core mission to create safer aircraft, safer pilots, and safer skies, we look forward to joining the dynamic roster of LiveWorx participants, connected by a shared passion to transform the world of tomorrow," said Pat Waddick, president, Innovation & Operations, Cirrus Aircraft.
