Textron Aviation’s deliveries, revenue, and profit were mixed in the fourth quarter of 2019, affected in part by waning demand for its legacy Citation jets and price inflation, parent company Textron Inc. announced today. For the period, 71 jets—including 13 Longitudes—and 59 turboprops were delivered by the Beechcraft and Cessna airframer.
