Cessna Citation CJ1

CJ1 is the second generation of the extremely successful Citation Jet series.

It comes with all of the advantages that the original Citation Jet offered, but with improvements in economy and performance. Its status as the second generation Citation gives the advantage of using a private jet design that has been tested and modified to exceed the success of the first model
the Citation Jet.

Simplicity, Economy and Performance

Cj1 differs in creating an aerodynamic structure that is financially prudent to produce and handles well.

Previous Citations had used a straight wing, which slows the aircraft considerably but dramatically reduces production and design costs. The Citation Jet upgraded to a natural laminar flow wing, which took four years to design in a joint venture between Cessna and NASA.

This wing delays the onset of airflow separation longer, improving the lift-to-drag characteristics ten to fifteen percent when compared to earlier straight-wing designs.

Specifications

The CJ1 is extremely fuel-efficient, burning an average of 134 gallons per hour. The economy of its fuel burn can be largely attributed to Cessna’s choice of engines. It uses two Williams/Rolls-Royce FJ44-1A turbofans, each of which delivers 1,900 pounds of thrust on takeoff.

Another of the CJ1’s strong points contributes to its low operating cost as well: the simplicity (but reliability) of its flight systems. It uses the Pro Line 21 avionics package, complete with PFD (Primary Flight Display) and MFD (MultiFunction Display) flat-panel screens. The CJ1 is the first business jet to be equipped with these screens (with the exception of the gigantic Boeing Business Jet).

Despite the CJ1’s economy in flight, it allows for a surprisingly high payload. Its three baggage compartments can carry up to a total of 832 pounds of luggage.

Best Private Jets for International Travel For 2024

When it comes to international travel, a private jet is the epitome of luxury, efficiency, and convenience.

The year 2023 witnesses a remarkable array of private jets, each tailor-made for the discerning traveler.

Join us on this in-depth exploration into the world of private aviation as we reveal the finest jets tailored for international adventures this year.

Gulfstream G700

The G700, heralded as Gulfstream's masterpiece, is a beacon of airborne luxury.

Range: A formidable 7,500 nautical miles, ensuring long-haul routes are covered seamlessly.

Speed: At Mach 0.925, it rivals the fastest jets in its class.

Features: It boasts up to five resplendent living areas, advanced avionics, panoramic oval windows, and interiors that can be tailored to personal taste.

Reaching Maturity

Gulfstream says it will use the second G700 test jet to ensure the aircraft’s interior features can demonstrate “unparalleled product maturity” upon service entry. Points of focus will include a grand suite with shower and an all-new circadian lighting system.

Gulfstream has already accomplished critical phases-of-flight tests, including envelope expansion, flutter, aerodynamic stalls, flying qualities, flight control systems, and air data testing.

It has also conducted cold weather and high-altitude testing, as well as all required structural testing.

The G700’s all-new cabin features up to five possible living areas, all-new seats that convert into ergonomic beds, 20 panoramic oval windows, Jet ConneX Ka-band Wi-Fi connectivity, and the industry’s only ultra-galley with 10 feet (3 meters) of counter space. The cabin is 6.3 ft high by 8.2 ft wide by 56.92 ft long (1.9 by 2.5 by 17.3 m), excluding the baggage area.

Speedy, Too

Also this week, Gulfstream reported the G700 recently set its seventh international city pair speed record.

The feat took place May 20, 2022, and was accomplished using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The G700 departed from Gulfstream’s base in Savannah, Georgia, and touched down 7 hours and 37 minutes later in Geneva, Switzerland, where the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) is being held through May 25. The G700 completed the trip at an average speed of Mach 0.90. The jet’s all-new Rolls Royce Pearl 700 engines, rated for 18,250 pounds-force (81.2 kilonewtons) of takeoff thrust, played a big role in achieving the record.
