Cessna’s Citation CJ4 isn’t just another derivative of the CitationJet family–it is a clean-sheet design that incorporates some of the best features found in other Citations. “It has the best of the Encore-plus’s cockpit and cabin, the Mustang’s wide cabin door, Sovereign-style wing performance and the CJ3’s external baggage capacity,” said Citation 500-series product marketing manager Brett Palmiero.

First flight of the 11-seat model is planned for spring 2008, with FAA certification to follow in late 2009. Service entry of the $7.995 million (2006 $) CJ4 is expected in spring 2010. While some believe the CJ4 could be an “Encore killer,” Cessna insists the two models can coexist. However, “the market will ultimately decide the fate of the Encore,” Palmiero said. Cessna has orders for 70 CJ4s.
