Photo Gallery: Meet Textron Aviation’s Citation CJ4 Gen2

Textron unveiled the CJ4 Gen 2 on Feb. 9, 2021. This is the latest in the Cessna Citation family of business jets. The CJ4 Gen2 includes a fully revamped interior.

The CJ4 Gen2 seats up to 10 passengers with multiple seating options, such as side-facing seat selections that include a folding single seat, a fixed two-place couch and a folding two-place couch with additional storage. Customers may choose a variety of designs and colors in sandstone, French roast, bisque, toffee, jet black and glacier, or they may choose a custom interior. The aircraft offers an upgraded wireless cabin management system with the ability to stream preloaded audio and video files and access XM Satellite Radio and moving maps. It also includes a Fresh Air System to bring fresh air into the cabin through the engines, which compresses and heats to kill pathogens and germs.

The CJ4 Gen2 includes redesigned stairs and a lower point of entry, handrail support and a customizable logo light.

The aircraft includes a new entry with an upgraded refreshment center and galley area with improved storage, optional high-power outlet with a pull-out surface for a coffee maker and optional extendable stone countertops.

The CJ4 Gen2 offers a new lavatory vanity and sink and Coolview Skylights that offers natural lighting, yet blocks out the heat. “Success is in the details,” says Rob Scholl, Textron Aviation senior vice president of sales and flight operations.

The Citation CJ4 offers electrically heated windscreens, single-point refueling and other features. The aircraft has a range of 1,926 nm and a maximum cruise speed of 451 kt. It is powered by two Williams FJ44-4A engines and includes Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. Textron Aviation has received interior certification from the FAA for the aircraft. Deliveries are to begin “immediately,” the company says.
