Citation Hemisphere Taking Shape in Static Mockup
Textron Aviation brought a cabin mockup of the large-cabin Hemisphere, its largest business jet ever.
The seats of Textron Aviation’s Citation Hemisphere are 30 inches wide, with four-inch armrests that accommodate USB ports and seat controls. Windows are 20 x 15 inches, even larger than those on the Longitude.

For the past six months, a team of engineers, technicians and interior specialists have been assembling the cabin mockup of the largest Citation ever developed by Textron Aviation’s Cessna unit, the new large-cabin Hemisphere. The mockup was publicly unveiled for the first time here at NBAA 2016 static display yesterday, and it clearly shows potential buyers how much designers can do with a 102-inch-wide fuselage that is 43 feet long from the aft end of the cockpit to the pressure bulkhead on the back side of the in-flight-accessible baggage compartment.
