The Klapmeier brothers, Alan Lee Klapmeier (born October 6, 1958) and Dale Edward Klapmeier (born July 2, 1961), are retired American aircraft designers and aviation entrepreneurs who together founded the Cirrus Design Corporation in 1984. Under the leadership of the Klapmeiers, Cirrus was the first aircraft manufacturer to install a whole-plane parachute recovery system as a standard on all its models—designed to lower the airplane (and occupants) safely to the ground in case of an emergency. The device is attributed with saving over 200 lives to date. From the brothers' use of all-composite airframe construction and glass panel cockpits on production aircraft, Cirrus is known for having revolutionized general aviation for modern light aircraft pilots.

  • Alan (* 6. Oktober 1958 in St. Paul, Minnesota) und Dale Edward (* 2. Juli 1961 in Rockford, Illinois) Klapmeier sind US-amerikanische Flugzeugkonstrukteure und Luftfahrtunternehmer. Zusammen gründeten sie 1984 die Cirrus Design Corporation. Unter der Führung der Klapmeiers stellte Cirrus als erster Flugzeughersteller ein Fallschirmrettungssystem für Kleinflugzeuge vor, das serienmäßig in allen Cirrus-Modellen verbaut wird. Es dient dazu, das Flugzeug und seine Insassen in einem Notfall sicher auf den Boden zu bringen. Bis heute werden dem System die Rettung von über 150 Menschenleben zugeschrieben. Des Weiteren bestehen alle Konstruktionen der Brüder aus Verbundwerkstoffen und verfügen über Glascockpits. Dadurch revolutionierten sie die Allgemeine Luftfahrt für Piloten moderner Kleinflugz (de)
