The Cessna Citation Encore (Model 560) is the ultimate expression of the aircraft that defined the entire private jet category, offering single-pilot operational performance combined with cabin room and luxury typically found in much larger and more expensive jets. Although the Citation Encore offers a slight decrease in fuel capacity over the earlier Citation V and Citation Ultra, its more powerful – yet also more efficient – Pratt & Whitney PW535A turbofans offset the reduced fuel load with greater efficiency and range, while pilots and passengers alike will appreciate smoother landings from the trailing link main gear. Cabin occupants also
First delivered in 2007, the Cessna Citation Encore+ (Model 560) improves upon the highly successful Citation Encore private jet with its new Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite and enhanced PW535B engines with full authority digital engine control (FADEC). This increased performance allows for faster climbs to altitude – translating into a more comfortable ride – as well as additional range for nonstop trips between such cities as Salt Lake City to St. Louis, or Los Angeles to Dallas. Inside the spacious cabin, passengers will find such big jet amenities as a full refreshment center, articulating seats and lavish
Entering service in 2000 as the first derivative of the Model 525 Citation Jet, the Cessna Citation CJ2 (Model 525A) private jet is simply bigger, faster, and better than preceding CJs. The CJ2 offers a 33 cabin stretch over the CJ1, a similar increase in wingspan, and a significant 30-knot bump in speed over the earlier model, as well as improved range, maximum takeoff weight, and maximum fuel weight. Despite these impressive gains, the CJ2 is optimized for operation by a single pilot, with several automated aircraft systems and advanced Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics designed to be simple
The Cessna Citation CJ1+ (Model 525) builds upon the legacy of the CJ1 in offering impressive capabilities and passenger space, all in a package designed to be as simple to fly as possible for a single pilot. Introduced in 2005, the third-generation CJ1+ is powered by new full authority digital engine control (FADEC) Williams FJ-44-1AP engines offering improved performance with lower operating costs, the ability to depart sea-level runways in just 3,250′, all while carrying four persons onboard up to 1,300 nm at high-speed cruise in a cabin that is 4.8-ft wide and provides nearly five feet of headroom. Rating:
The Cessna Citation CJ1 (Model 525) is a lightly-revised variant of the original Citation Jet, offering the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, increased fuel capacity, and a slightly higher maximum takeoff weight. Its Williams FJ44-1A turbofans burn an average of 134 gallons per hour, impressively efficient for light, private jets, while offering 1,900 pounds of thrust on takeoff. The CJ1 was specifically designed to be able to operate on short runways, offering take off distances as low as 3,080 feet. The CJ1 also offers surprisingly high payload capacity, with its three baggage compartments offering room for up to
Cessna almost single-handedly defined the market of small, owner-flown private jets with the Citation I/SP and its derivatives. However, by the early 1990s the need for an entirely new design was clear, and the result was the Model 525 Citation Jet featuring a new supercritical laminar flow wing, a new T-tail configured empennage, and improved avionics intended specifically for the owner-flown segment. Citation Jets are powered by efficient Williams FJ-44-1A turbofan engines that are pylon mounted on the rear fuselage. More than 400 Citation Jets and CJs are in service today; while the original CJ has been superseded by larger,
