Cessna Citation owners will be able to have Gogo Galileo half-duplex (HDX) low-earth-orbit (LEO) satcom systems installed in their jets at Textron Aviation’s service centers. Installations will be available after FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for Citations, which is expected later this year.

Models covered by the STCs will include the Citation X/X+; Sovereign/Sovereign+; Latitude; Excel/XLS/XLS+/XLS Gen2; CJ4/CJ4 Gen2; CJ3/CJ3+; CJ2/CJ2+; and CJ1/CJ1+/M2/M2 Gen 2. The installation consists of an HDX electronically-steered antenna mounted on top of the fuselage and the Gogo Avance router. The HDX antenna is designed for smaller airframes and measures 24 by 11.8 by 2 inches and weighs 21.6 pounds. Gogo Galileo provides high-speed, worldwide internet access on the Eutelsat OneWeb LEO satellite constellation.
