The Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2 is designed and manufactured by
Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.
“The Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2 is our most comprehensive Gen2
product announcement yet, offering customers proven performance,
leading edge technology and an unmatched cabin experience,” said
Ron Draper, President and CEO, Textron Aviation. “As a pilot of the
CJ3 series, I appreciate the aircraft’s excellent range, payload
and efficiency, along with new productivity and comfort features.
This announcement is a testament to our vision to be the leader in
aviation, inspiring the journey of flight.”
Enhancements begin in the cockpit
The Citation CJ3 Gen2 was designed with input from a Textron
Aviation Customer Advisory Board, made up of owners, pilots and
mechanics who know what makes the ultimate aircraft experience.
This feedback was key in every detailed enhancement in the
aircraft, from cockpit to cabin.
“The Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen2 was designed to feel as good to
the pilot as it does to the passenger,” said Lannie O’Bannion,
senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations. “The
aircraft is built upon two decades of success in the market and is
the latest example of Textron Aviation's commitment to constantly
innovate and bring the best products and experiences to our
customers.”
The aircraft offers a proven and trusted avionics system with
the latest Garmin G3000 software and hardware, including:
- Garmin Autothrottles to reduce pilot workload and provide
flight-envelope protection
- Optional Enhanced Vision System (EVS) to provide improved
clarity and optimized situational awareness
- Intuitive touch screen interface
- GDL60 for aircraft connectivity, including remote transmission
of flight plans, automatic database updates, as well as wireless
transmission of aircraft diagnostic data
One of the most notable changes in the cockpit is an added 4.5
inches of legroom for the pilot, allowing a comfortable and focused
flight experience.
The Citation CJ3 Gen2 will offer standard seating for 10
passengers. With a maximum range of 2,040 nm and a maximum payload
of 2,135 pounds, the Citation CJ3 Gen2 offers excellent range,
payload and superior field performance to enable pilots to achieve
a variety of missions in extensive conditions.
A cabin experience like no other
A new entryway step design and assist handle, along with
enhanced lighting for improved visibility, provide comfort and ease
to customers entering the Citation CJ3 Gen2. The fully customizable
luxury interior allows customers to create their ideal environment
for their specific mission — relaxation, innovation or
productivity.
In the Citation CJ3 Gen2, customers can choose between a fixed
side-facing seat, a modern refreshment center for expanded cabinet
storage, or a folding side-facing seat to carry an additional
passenger or additional luggage. The aircraft also features an
optional high-power outlet for a coffee machine, ice and trash
storage, and the incorporation of a cabin master control switch
panel.
Moving into the cabin, customers will experience:
- New seats with base and floor tracking capability and optional
swivel functionality
- New RGB accent lights to personalize the cabin environment with
changeable, ambient lighting
- USB-C power at every seat, as well as wireless charging in the
main cabin
- Top-loading executive and slimline tables
- Lighted side pockets for additional storage
In the rear of the aircraft, customers will appreciate the new
CoolView skylights in the lavatory, which bring natural light into
the space, as well as a new optional sink and vanity design with a
dedicated water supply. For added convenience, the Citation CJ3
Gen2 includes an externally serviceable lavatory.
“Our talented team members at Textron Aviation have proven their
commitment to designing and delivering new industry-leading
products based on our customers’ feedback,” said Christi Tannahill,
senior vice president, Customer Experience. “We look forward to
exceeding their expectations again with the new Cessna Citation CJ3
Gen2.”
Built with the world in mind
Like all Cessna and Beechcraft turbine products, the Citation
CJ3 Gen2 will be able to operate using Sustainable Aviation Fuel
(SAF). All CJ3 Gen2 aircraft may be delivered with SAF onboard, and
customers can refuel using SAF wherever available, including at the
company’s Wichita Service Center.
The company is committed to conscious manufacturing and features
sustainably sourced interior materials in the aircraft. Textron
Aviation also utilizes a robust recycling program and industrial
wastewater pretreatment plants. According to the company’s energy
supplier, Textron Aviation used 100 percent renewable wind
electricity to power all of its Kansas-based facilities in
2022.
The company is already seeing strong aircraft demand and is
taking orders for the Citation CJ3 Gen2. For more information about
