	Cirrus cloud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals and shaped like hairlike filaments.
		The streaks point in the direction of the wind and may appear straight giving the clouds the appearance of a comma (cirrus uncinus), or may by seem tangled, an indication of high level turbulence.
		Cirrus clouds contribute to the earth's greenhouse effect and its albedo (the amount of sunlight the earth reflects).

	Cirrus Design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cirrus is headquartered in Duluth, Minnesota and has a facility in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
		Cirrus aircraft are extremely modern, with Avidyne FlightMax digital flight displays and modern avionics as standard equipment.
		Cirrus is the first manufacturer to be awarded FAA certification for a production aircraft with a ballistic parachute system.

	AMS Glossary
		Many of the ice crystal particles of cirrus are sufficiently large to acquire an appreciable speed of fall; therefore, the cloud elements have a considerable vertical extent.
		Cirrus often evolves from virga of cirrocumulus or altocumulus (Ci cirrocumulogenitus or Ci altocumulogenitus), or from the upper part of cumulonimbus (Ci cumulonimbogenitus).
		Thick cirrus (usually cirrus spissatus) is differentiated from patches of altostratus by its lesser extension and white color.

	Cirrus Logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cirrus Logic NASDAQ: CRUS is a fabless semiconductor supplier specializing in analog, mixed-signal, and DSP chips.
		In the early 1990s, Cirrus Logic was a leading supplier of low-cost PC graphics chips.
		For example, the Cirrus GD-5422 (1992) supported hardware acceleration for both 256-color and high-color (65,536 color) display-modes, one of the lowest-priced SVGA controllers to support both.

	Columbia vs Cirrus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cirrus Factory in Duluth, MN Both are a fixed tricycle gear, four-person aircraft and both use a Teledyne Continental Motors 310 hp normally aspirated fuel injected engine.
		Cirrus controls are more representative of a standard yoke and the Columbia is more representative of a traditional “stick.” As a result, the Columbia provides a more intuitive and much smoother command authority without the tendency to over control the aircraft while making changes to pitch and/or heading.
		Cirrus overloads the function of the hat switch on the side yoke to double as electric aileron and pitch trim and as an autopilot disconnect (push straight down).

	Serious about cirrus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Unlike clouds in the lower and middle altitudes, which are made largely of water droplets, cirrus contain tiny ice crystals.
		Granted, cirrus clouds are less obvious than the familiar clouds that cause rain, snow and storms.
		Ice crystals in cirrus clouds range from a few millionths to a few thousandths of a meter in size.

	Cirrus Clouds: thin and wispy
		Cirrus can form from almost any cloud that has undergone glaciation and can be observed in a variety of shapes and sizes.
		Possibilities range from the "finger-like" appearance of cirrus fall streaks to the uniform texture of more extensive cirrus clouds associated with an approaching warm front.
		Cirrus streaks may be nearly straight, shaped like a comma, or seemingly all tangled together.

	HIGH CLOUDS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cirrus are detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments or white or mostly white patches or narrow bands.
		Dense cirrus patches or cirrus in tufts may nevertheless contain ice crystals large enough to acquire an appreciable terminal velocity, so that trails of considerable vertical extent may form.
		Cirrocumulus differs from Cirrus and Cirrostratus in that it is rippled or subdivided into very small cloudlets; it may include fibrous, silky or smooth portions which, however, do not collectively constitute its greater part.

		The most common form of high-level clouds are thin and often wispy cirrus clouds.
		Typically found at heights greater than 20,000 feet (6,000 meters), cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets.
		Cirrus generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.

	JS Online: Parachutes for planes
		But while Cirrus claims to build the world's safest single-engine airplanes, it has been shadowed by an accident rate that early this year was about 33% higher than the aviation industry average.
		Cirrus made dozens of test drops over the California desert, at first with big barrels of sand, rather than expensive airplanes, attached to parachutes.
		Cirrus says its planes have a wing design that makes them resistant to airborne spins, a cockpit roll cage to better absorb the impact of a crash, and a plethora of electronics, including a moving map that shows other airplanes in the sky and details of the terrain below.

	cloud - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about cloud
		Cirrus clouds are at high levels and have a wispy appearance.
		Clouds are classified according to the height at which they occur, and by their shape.
		Cirrus and cirrostratus clouds occur at around 10 km/33,000 ft. The former, sometimes called mares'-tails, consist of minute specks of ice and appear as feathery white wisps, while cirrostratus clouds stretch across the sky as a thin white sheet.

		The Cirrus felt as least as good in slow flight and power-off stalls as the Diamond Katana trainer, though of course everything is happening 20 knots faster (The Cirrus stalls at 56 knots with full flaps, 65 knots clean; the Katana stalls at 37 knots with flaps and 41 knots clean).
		Cirrus was started by a couple of brothers from Wisconsin, then sold to First Islamic Investment Bank, a group of investors from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, in August 2001.

	Cirrus Cloud Formation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Thunderstorms are one source of moisture for cirrus, but most cirrus develop as a result of air moving upward along isotropic surfaces, and then condensing.
		Cirrus cloud ice crystals can grow larger in saturated conditions, as they draw on the water vapor around them in the cloud.
		When they become too heavy for the air motions to hold them up, they fall from the cirrus cloud, just as snow, rain, or hail falls from clouds because they are too heavy for the air motions to keep them in the cloud where they formed.
