In the months following his death, Cirrus continued on to redesign the aileron in order to prevent the problem that killed Anderson, and sold their first SR20 in July 1999. The SR20's successor, the Cirrus SR22, became the world's best-selling general aviation airplane in 2003 and has held the title every year since, with a combined overall production of more than 6,000 examples from 1999–2015, something that hadn't been accomplished in the aviation industry for the last half-century. As of October 27, 2020, there have been 115 CAPS deployments saving 203 lives.
