New Cessna aircraft at NBAA

Cessna Aircraft Company will unveil the newest member of the CJ family of Citation business jets at the annual National Business Aviation Association convention.

Cessna Aircraft Company, a unit of Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT), will introduce the CJ4, the newest member of the CJ family of Citation business jets, at the annual National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention in October.

“The market success of the CJ1+, CJ2+ and CJ3 proves that Cessna’s basic philosophy for the family is right on target,” said Roger Whyte, senior vice president of Sales/Marketing for Cessna. “While the CJ4 shares many of the features of the smaller CJs such as the Collins ProLine 21 avionics suite, we’ve made some cabin and airframe changes, such as a new wing, to optimize its performance for this market segment.”

The main cabin features seating for seven to eight passengers, depending on layout, a large forward door, private lavatory, and large baggage compartment. Powered by two, electronically controlled (FADEC) Williams FJ44-4A engines, the CJ4 will be certified for operations up to 45,000 feet (13,700 meters). First flight of the Citation CJ4 is scheduled for the first half of 2008 and entry into service is set for 2010.

“Cessna is known for using the latest technology in producing high quality, reliable aircraft, and for offering customers a product range that fits just about every market requirement,” Whyte said. “The CJ4 is simply the latest manifestation of our philosophy, filling a market niche within our range of aircraft that we think will be very popular.”

Whyte said Cessna will be taking orders for the CJ4 prior to the unveiling at NBAA, and promises other new announcements at the show.
