The Cessna CitationJet is a series of business jets manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., formerly Cessna Aircraft Company.

Summary[]

In 2006, Cessna set out to conquer the light business jet market, introducing the latest model in their Citation II evolutionary line: the Citation CJ4.

When it officially took to the skies in 2010, the CJ4 offered an amenity-rich and tech-savvy passenger space tailored for corporate clientele, along with more speed, range and cabin size than the company's already-popular CJ3 – all without the greater operating costs of a midsize jet.

Designed with single-pilot control in mind, the flight deck is ergonomically organized around a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite and a host of advanced componentry: Flight Management System with GPS navigation, MultiScan weather tracking, integrated electronic checklists and active crew-alert system.

The Citation CJ4 is powered by reliable Williams Intl FJ44-4A turbofans, which pair nicely with its large, moderately-swept wing to deliver fast climb, smooth flight, and high airspeed – while on the other end, modulated speed brakes are key for slow-down and descent, and long-stroke, trailing-link retractable gear provide the soft landing that pilots and passengers expect from Cessna's famous CJ line.
