Cirrus began designing the [[Cirrus ST50|ST-50]] under contract to Israeli aircraft manufacturer IsrAviation in the early 1990s. The aircraft was configured like the Cirrus VK-30 but powered by a [[Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6|Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-135]] [[turboprop engine]], in place of the [[piston engine]] used in the VK-30. The prototype was first flown on 7 December 1994 by Norman E. Howell.<ref>[http://aerofiles.com/_ca.html Aerofiles: Aircraft Ca to Ci] Retrieved 24 July 2011</ref> Earlier that year, the Klapmeier brothers moved company headquarters from southern Wisconsin to a much larger facility at the [[Duluth International Airport]] in Duluth, Minnesota, bringing 35 employees with them and hiring another 15 at once.<ref name="ReferenceForBusiness"/><ref name="Twin Cities Business">{{cite web|url=http://tcbmag.com/Leadership/Economic-Development/Aviation-Takes-Off-In-Duluth|title=Aviation Takes Off In Duluth|date=August 5, 2013 }}</ref>

In August 1996, Cirrus announced plans to build a plant at the [[Grand Forks International Airport]] in [[Grand Forks, North Dakota]].<ref name="ReferenceForBusiness"/>

By the middle of the decade the company had discontinued the VK-30 and began development of the [[Cirrus SR20]], which was first flown on 21 March 1995 and [[Type certificate|type certified]] on 23 October 1998.<ref name="A00009CH">{{cite web|url=http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0/169146a0f8275d0a86257b0b00564a20/$FILE/A00009CH_Rev_19.pdf|title=Type Certification Data Sheet A00009CH|last = Federal Aviation Administration|author-link = Federal Aviation Administration|access-date=2013-06-05}}</ref> This was followed by customer deliveries of the SR20 beginning in July 1999.
